Politics APC governorship aspirant, Vunobolki dumps party in Adamawa Published on April 14, 2026 By Jim Ochetenwu googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1500386953281-8'); }); A prominent governorship aspirant in Adamawa State, Chief Maurice Vunobolki, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress, APC. During a news briefing in Yola on Tuesday, he expressed concerns over lack of transparency, fairness, and internal democracy within the APC. Addressing journalists, Vunobolki said his decision was prompted by “recent developments in the APC that contradict earlier assurances of equity and a level playing field.” googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1524595905268-5'); }); Vunobolki said defected from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDO, into the APC on February 23, 2026 after assurances by the party and Governor Ahmadu Fintiri who was also set to join the APC at the time. He, however, said prevailing actions within the party and the state government undermined those assurances. Describing the current political climate as a repeat of past patterns, Vunobolki asserted that the system is increasingly driven by imposition rather than democratic choice. “As a long-standing participant in Nigeria’s political space, I recognise the signs of a system that is tilting towards impositions; there is a growing likelihood that decisions will be made through manipulated consensus rather than a transparent and credible process,” he said. He said he remains a governorship aspirant but has not decided his next political party. He urged his supporters across the state to also withdraw from the APC and await further directives on the next political direction. DAILY POST reports that though Vunobolki’s resignation from the APC may have come sooner than Adamawa public may have expected, prevailing complaints by many who were influenced into the APC by Governor Fintiri signal possible similar resignations in the near future.
