Former Rep Shiddi Danjuma Usman Explains Exit from APC
Former lawmaker Shiddi resigned from the APC, citing a disconnect between his values, the needs of his constituents, and the party's direction. His resignation stemmed from dissatisfaction with the APC's handling of the 2023 Taraba South Senatorial primaries, where he believed his victory was unjustly overturned by the Supreme Court in favor of Senator Jimkuta following a legal challenge. Shiddi, who alleged irregularities and accused the APC of betraying its members, maintains he won overwhelmingly, even defeating the PDP candidate across party lines. He remains committed to public service, hinting at a future political move in 2027 and stating that his departure will reshape Taraba's political landscape.
