Zaune announced his decision in a resignation letter dated August 5, 2026, addressed to the ADC Ward Chairman of Zaune Ward in Dukku Local Government Area.
In the letter, Zaune expressed gratitude to the party for the opportunity to serve in various capacities at the local government, state and national levels.
‘I sincerely appreciate the party for the opportunity to serve in different capacities at the local government, state and national levels. I wish the party well in its future endeavours,’ he stated.
Zaune did not disclose the reason for his resignation or indicate his next political move in the letter.
His resignation comes after the recent exit of the ADC State Secretary, Ahmed Gana, who left the party a few weeks ago and subsequently joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) in support of Jamilu Isiyaka Gwamna.
