The All Progressives Congress (APC) has suffered another major setback as former Kaduna State Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Hafsat Mohammed Baba, announced her resignation from the party.
In a letter addressed to the APC chairman and accompanied by her membership slip, Baba cited the party’s deviation from its founding principles as the key reason for her exit.
“I was part of the negotiations that led to the formation of the APC as the then National Woman Leader of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria. We joined the merger with the hope of entrenching democratic values and justice in the political system. Unfortunately, the party has lost its direction,” she stated.
Expressing disappointment over the APC’s trajectory, she emphasized that its current state contradicts her core beliefs.
“As someone committed to justice and political order, I can no longer remain in a party that has strayed from these ideals. My future political steps will be taken in alignment with like-minded individuals who share these values,” Baba added.
While she did not disclose her next political move, her resignation comes on the heels of the defection of former Kaduna governor, Nasir El-Rufai, to the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
The recent exodus of prominent figures, including former senators and House of Representatives members, suggests a growing shift in Kaduna’s political scene.
