Former Minister of Environment under the Buhari administration and prominent chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nasarawa State, Mohammed H. Abdullahi, has resigned his membership from the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Abdullahi, who holds the traditional title of Magajin Garin Uke, made his resignation known in a letter dated June 1, 2025, addressed to the Chairman of the APC in Uke Ward, Karu Local Government Area.
In the letter, the former minister cited personal reasons for his decision to leave the ruling party but did not disclose further details. He expressed appreciation for the cooperation and support received during his time in the party and acknowledged the contributions he made to the development and growth of the APC in the state.
“I thank you for the cooperation while I was in the APC, where we made modest contributions in building the party in the state,” the letter read in part.
The resignation letter was also copied to the State Chairman of the APC and the Chairman of APC in Karu Local Government Area, indicating his formal exit from party activities.
It will be recalled that Abdullahi has recently been consulting with key political stakeholders across Nasarawa State as he prepares to formally declare his intention to contest for the governorship position in the 2027 general elections. It is also rumoured that he may be defecting to an opposition party to pursue his ambition.
