Ex-Kano APC governorship candidate Nasiru Gawuna resigns from party
Nasiru Gawuna, the 2023 governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano state, has resigned his membership of the party.
In a resignation letter dated March 29, 2026, and addressed to the APC chairman in Gawuna ward, Nassarawa LGA, the former deputy governor described his decision as “voluntary and personal.”
“I hereby formally resign my membership from the All Progressives Congress (APC), effective March 29, 2026,” the letter reads in part.
Gawuna expressed appreciation to the party for the opportunities given to him during his time as a member but did not disclose his next political move.
His resignation comes amid growing political realignments in Kano, where key actors have continued to shift alliances ahead of future elections.
Sources close to the former deputy governor said he is expected to meet with Rabiu Kwankwaso, a former governor of Kano state, at his Miller Road residence.
The development is seen as part of ongoing political manoeuvres in the state, which have intensified following recent defections and alignments among major political figures.
