A former member of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly, Barrister Makpa Malla, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC), citing alleged manipulation and lack of internal democracy in the party’s governorship primaries.
Malla, who represented Wamba Constituency in the 5th Assembly, announced his resignation in a letter dated May 26, 2026, addressed to the APC Chairman of Wamba East Ward.
In the letter, the ex-lawmaker accused the party leadership of persistent injustice, imposition of candidates, and lack of transparent democratic processes.
He specifically criticised the conduct of the governorship primaries that produced Senator Ahmed Aliyu Wadada as the APC candidate.
Malla blamed the State Working Committee, led by Alhaji Aliyu Bello, for what he described as a growing culture of impunity that undermined the will of party members.
“I can no longer, in good conscience, continue to associate myself with a system that disregards the collective will of members and undermines democratic values,” he stated.
The resignation comes amid rising tensions within the Nasarawa APC following widespread allegations of irregularities in the governorship primary.
It also follows the resignation of former Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar Adamu, who equally cited fraudulent practices and manipulation in the same primaries.
