Why Bello Left the APC
In his resignation letter, Bello described his exit as a step towards “coming out from bondage.” He stated that the decision was taken in the best interest of both himself and his community.
He emphasized that the move followed a period of “considerable reflection” on his personal values and the direction of the APC. According to him, remaining in the party no longer aligned with his political convictions.
“I am writing to formally notify you of my decision to resign my membership from the All Progressives Congress (APC) immediately. This decision has not come lightly; it follows considerable reflection on my personal values and the direction of the party. After much deliberation, I have concluded that it is in my best interest and that of my community to step away from the party at this time,” Bello said in his letter.
