CITIZENS COMPASS— Former Speaker of the Adamawa State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Kabiru Mijinyawa, has resigned his membership from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Mijinyawa was a three-term lawmaker representing Yola South Constituency.
He served as Speaker of the Adamawa State House of Assembly.
He was said to have announced his resignation from the party.
The former lawmaker is a prominent political figure in Yola South and has built a significant political following over the years through his three-term representation in the state legislature.
In his letter addressed to the state chairman of the APC dated September 13, 2026, the former speaker said a lack of rule of law and transparency in dealing with members of the party had pushed him out of the APC.
“The recent APC primary elections in Adamawa State were a demonstration that the party lacks internal democracy; people were picked as candidates without due process”, he said.
The resignation came two days after hundreds of party chieftains, led by Alhaji Tahir Shehu, defected to the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).
There were insinuations that APM awaits Mijinyawa.
