A few months after Senator Ahmed Baba-Kaita, who represents President Muhammadu Buhari’s Katsina North Senatorial District, also known as the Daura Zone, defected to the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party, Fatuhu Muhammad, who represents the Daura-Sandamu-Mai’adua Federal Constituency, has left the ruling All Progressives Congress.
Muhammad is President Buhari’s nephew.
He announced his resignation in a letter dated July 13, 2022, that he personally signed and sent to the Sarkin Yara Ward APC chairman in the Daura Local Government Area.

Muhammad stated in the letter that his resignation will take effect as of July 13 and was copied to the state party chairman and the APC chairman of the Daura local government.
The letter reads “This is to notify you that I have resigned my membership from the All Progressives Congress (APC) with immediate effect commencing from Wednesday the 13th day of July, 2022. Attached herewith is my Party Membership Registration slip with slip No. KT/DRA/10/00002.
While I thank you and the Party for the opportunity given to me to serve the interest of the people of Daura-Sandamu-Mai’Adua Federal Constituency while working with the party, accept my best wishes please”.
His resignation is not unconnected with the outcome of the just party primaries where he was defeated by Aminu Jamo who polled 117 votes as against his 30 votes, to emerge as the APC candidate.
After the primaries, Muhammad filed some petitions and complaints before the Party’s Appeal Committee and indicted many persons who later described his allegations as false.
