The internal crisis within the Plateau State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has intensified following the resignation of Sunday Garba Biggs, a prominent former governorship aspirant in the 2023 general elections.
His departure marks the latest in a series of high-profile exits from the ruling party as it grapples with deepening instability ahead of upcoming political cycles.
In a formal letter addressed to the APC Ward II Chairman in Mangu Local Government Area, dated April 21, 2026, Biggs confirmed that his resignation takes immediate effect.
He attributed the move to deep personal reflection, extensive consultations with his political associates, and the shifting dynamics of the national political landscape.
Despite his four-year tenure and active role within the party—most notably his run for the governorship—Biggs stated that he has chosen to pursue a different path that aligns more closely with his current convictions.
While Biggs expressed gratitude for the opportunities and relationships built during his time with the party, his exit has sparked significant speculation among political observers.
The timing of his departure, occurring just weeks before the party primaries, suggests a growing dissatisfaction with the internal direction of the APC, sources close to Biggs said.
Many analysts however believe these resignations are tied to a perceived consolidation of support for Governor Caleb Mutfwang, which has seemingly sidelined other aspirants.
This development is particularly significant in the Mangu Local Government Area, a key political battleground that both the Governor and Biggs call home.
Biggs follows other notable figures from the same region, including Brig. Gen. John Sura and Jude Eli Dakur, who have also recently severed ties with the party.
As these influential figures from Mangu depart, the APC faces a challenging realignment that could reshape the state’s political map leading into 2027.
