A former member of the House of Representatives for Wukari/Ibi Federal Constituency in Taraba State, Hon. Shiddi Danjuma Usman, has announced his resignation from the All Progressives Congress, citing disenchantment with the party’s internal politics and failure to uphold democratic principles.
Shiddi, who represented the constituency in the 8th and 9th National Assembly, made the disclosure in a telephone interview with journalists on Sunday.
The ex-lawmaker said his decision to dump the ruling party followed months of reflection and growing concerns about what he described as the APC’s drift away from the values that once inspired him to join.
“After deep thought and careful reflection, I resigned as a member of the All Progressives Congress. Since joining the APC in 2020, I have served with unwavering loyalty and commitment,” he said.
“Over time, I have come to terms with a difficult truth: there is a growing disconnect between my convictions, the realities I observe, and the actual needs of the people I represent,” he added.
Shiddi came to national prominence during his tenure in the National Assembly, earning a reputation for grassroots mobilization, legislative activism, and principled leadership.
