BREAKING: Yar’adua resigns from APC, blasts party leadership as ‘bandits in government’
Senator Abubakar Sadiq Yar’adua has formally resigned his membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC), citing the party’s departure from its founding ideals and describing the current administration as “selfish and stinkingly corrupt.”
In a strongly worded resignation letter addressed to his colleagues and the Nigerian public, Yar’adua, a founding member of both the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) and the APC, accused the ruling party of betraying the masses and abandoning its original mission of service to the people.
“I cannot remain in a party or support a government that unashamedly watches its citizens being maimed, intimidated, sexually-harassed, assaulted, killed and displaced… while the government, its leadership and organs… remain aloof and unconcerned,” Yar’adua stated.
He further criticized the economic policies of the APC-led government, labeling them “destructive” and targeted at the “welfare, dignity, lands and livelihood” of Nigerians. He likened those in power to “urban bandits” and declared his intention to work with other like-minded individuals to democratically oust the current administration.
His exit marks a significant development in Katsina State politics and could trigger more defections, especially among disillusioned party loyalists.
Yar’adua concluded his statement with a call to action: “I, therefore, have no option other than to join hands with like-minds to democratically remove this bad, selfish and stinkingly corrupt administration.”
