Former Bauchi Lawmaker Leaves APC for PRP
Aminu Danmaliki, who previously represented Bauchi State in the House of Representatives, has officially resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and become a member of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP). He made the announcement ahead of the 2027 general elections, stating that his decision was based on personal conviction after careful reflection and consultation.
Danmaliki emphasized that political interests did not drive his move. Instead, he said he chose the PRP because he believes political parties should concentrate on serving the people and tackling the challenges facing Nigerian citizens.
He described his exit from the APC as peaceful, noting that he harbors no hostility toward former party colleagues or leaders with whom he worked during his tenure.
The former legislator highlighted the hardships many Nigerians endure, including rising living costs, unemployment, inadequate healthcare, and limited access to quality education. He urged leaders to formulate policies that improve citizens’ lives and create opportunities for them to thrive.
Danmaliki characterized the PRP as a party founded on principles of social justice, accountability, improved education, accessible healthcare, rural community development, and economic growth.
He pointed out that Bauchi State possesses abundant natural resources, agricultural potential, and a skilled workforce, yet its progress is hampered by poor leadership and weak policy implementation.
Drawing on his diverse background — spanning journalism, public service as a commissioner, federal lawmaking, business, and leadership in the Bauchi Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture — Danmaliki said his involvement in politics has always aimed at contributing to public welfare.
In addition, he declared his support for Senator Shehu Buba, who is expected to run for the Bauchi State governorship in 2027 under the PRP banner. Danmaliki pledged to use his experience and political networks to bolster the party’s campaign in the state.
