Politics APC loses Senator Gaya to ADC in Kano Published on April 8, 2026 By Muhammad Bukar The All Progressive Congress, APC, in Kano State, has once more lost another big political wig, Senator Kabiru Ibrahim Gaya, to the African Democratic Congress, ADC. Gaya represented Kano South Senatorial District in the last dispensation. DAILY POST reports that his resignation letter dated April 5, 2026, was addressed to the APC Ward Chairman in Gaya Local Government Area of Kano State, indicating that his decision takes immediate effect. Gaya said his decision followed a “careful reflection and wide consultation,” noting that leaving the APC aligns with the best interests of his constituents and his personal convictions. “I extend my sincere gratitude to the party for the platform it provided me and for the cooperation and camaraderie extended over the years,” he stated. The letter was formally acknowledged by the Gaya Arewa Ward Chairman, Adam A. Adam. Speaking to journalists on his next political move on Tuesday, Gaya confirmed his defection to the ADC, adding that he maintains a cordial relationship with Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna. He noted that they are set to work together towards strengthening and ensuring the success of the ADC in Kano State. Gaya’s defection to ADC follows earlier defections of the State 2023 gubernatorial candidate of the APC, Nasiru Gawuna who left the party mid last week.
