Hon. Jeremiah Umaru, member of the House of Representatives for Akwanga/Nasarawa Eggon/Wamba Federal Constituency, has resigned his membership of the All Progressives Congress with immediate effect.
Umaru, popularly known as Jakadan Wamba, announced his resignation in a letter dated May 28 to the APC chairman in Gitta Ward, Wamba Local Government Area.
He blamed his decision on developments during the just-concluded primaries in the state, saying they shook his confidence in the party’s commitment to justice, fairness, internal democracy, and transparency.
“As a loyal and committed member who devoted time, energy, and resources to the growth of the party, it is painful to witness the erosion of democratic values, imposition, manipulation, and disregard for the genuine will of members during the primary process,” Umaru stated in the letter.
He added that he could no longer associate with a system that “undermines credibility, suppresses fairness, and disregards the sacrifices and aspirations of dedicated party faithful.”
The lawmaker thanked party members for the relationships and experience gained during his time in the APC and wished well to those of good conscience within the party.
