Former Minister Mohammed Abdullahi Resigns From APC
Former Minister of Environment under President Muhammadu Buhari, Mohammed Hassan Abdullahi, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a letter dated June 1, Abdullahi cited personal reasons for his decision to quit the ruling party.
The letter was addressed to the APC chairman of his Uke Ward in Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State and copied to other party officials.
Abdullahi, who was first appointed as Minister of State for Science and Technology before his redeployment to the Environment Ministry, expressed gratitude for the support he received during his time in the APC.
He thanked the party leadership for their cooperation and noted that his team made modest contributions to the party’s growth in the state.
“I hereby tender my resignation as a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) based on personal reasons,” the letter stated.
“I thank you for the cooperation while I was in the APC where we made modest contributions in building the party in the state. I wish you and the party good luck.”
Before serving as a minister, Abdullahi was Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice in Nasarawa State under Senator Abdullahi Adamu’s administration, and later Secretary to the State Government under Senator Umar Tanko Al-Makura.
Sources say Abdullahi may be eyeing the 2027 Nasarawa governorship race but is uncertain of securing the APC ticket.
There are speculations he may join the PDP to challenge David Umbugadu, the party’s 2023 governorship candidate, or align with a coalition to secure an alternative platform for his ambition.
