Hon. Muhammad Bello Yakubu Bakyasuwa, party member in Dosara/Birnin Kaya Ward in Maradun Local Government Area, announced his resignation in a letter to the APC Ward Chairman. The resignation takes effect immediately.
In the letter, Bakyasuwa said his decision was driven by personal convictions. He expressed disappointment with how the APC-led Federal Government under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has handled the continued bandit attacks and killings across Zamfara.
According to him, innocent residents are being killed daily while the response from Abuja has not matched the scale of the crisis. He also raised concerns about what he called a lack of strong political will to end the violence that has plagued the state for years.
“This decision is based on personal convictions, particularly my dissatisfaction with the inability of the APC-led Federal Government under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to effectively address the persistent banditry and wanton killings of innocent people in Zamfara State,” Bakyasuwa wrote.
He said he could no longer remain in a party when he feels the government is not doing enough to protect lives in his community.
Despite stepping down, Bakyasuwa thanked the APC for the opportunity to serve as a member at the ward level. He did not indicate if he plans to join another political party.
His resignation comes at a time when insecurity remains the biggest talking point in Zamfara politics. Banditry, kidnapping, and attacks on rural communities have continued to dominate public discussions, with many citizens demanding more action from both state and federal authorities.
Political observers in Maradun say Bakyasuwa’s exit could spark fresh debate within APC circles in the area, and may put more pressure on the Tinubu administration to show concrete results in the fight against banditry.
For many residents in Dosara, Birnin Kaya and other parts of Maradun, security is not just a campaign issue. It is a daily survival issue. The resignation of a sitting party official over that same concern is likely to deepen conversations about how political leaders are responding to the crisis on the ground.
