Zamfara Law-maker, Jaji, remains APC member, no intention to join NNPP, Says APC
From Ibrahim Kaulahi, Gusau
Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has dismissed report by some media organizations which carried pictures of honorable member house of Representatives representing Birnin Magaji/Kaura Namoda and the NNPP leader, Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso claiming is a move to join NNPP.
The dismissal of the claim was made in a statement by the Ag. Secretary of the Zamfara State APC, Mansur Khalipha Kaura, saying, “The picture was snapped before the inauguration of the 10th national assembly when our political mentor visited some powerful party supporters in Nigeria seeking for their support for his candidature of Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives.
“Just the way he visited Kwankwaso, our political leader Aminu Sani Jaji, reached out to many prominent Nigerian politicians and canvassed for their support with a bid to winning the post of Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives as he worked round the clock to pursue genuine transformation agenda through effective legislation for Nigerian people.
“During that same period, there were evidences which shows the former Governor of Zamfara Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar who equally contested for the post of the Senate President paid similar visit to Kwankwaso, the NNPP National leader just the way another pict of Matawalle, the Honourable Minister of State for Defence as well as the suspended party Chairman of the APC Zamfara, Tukur Umar Danfulani, paid similar visit to Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso aimed at canvassing support for the candidature of Sen. Godswill Akpabio.
“To the best of our knowledge, the people instigating this feud to frustrate Jaji and his teeming supporters out of the APC, are those Zamfara politicians who instigated bad blood for the APC through their several failed promises to the people and corrupt behaviors emanating from seriality of lootings of public funds when they were on the seat of power.
“Their antecedents caused the APC a heart-beat political crash which resulted to the party losing elections in both the 2019 and 2023 general elections in the state and beside, the development of the 2023 elections were tagged “the worst political experience in Nigeria’s recent time”.
“On this premise, we call on the APC leadership led by former Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje to call the Minister of State for Defence Bello Matawalle into order hence he has continue to work his ways in making sure that APC has been frustrated at all cost in Zamfara.
“The National leadership of the APC should take notice of our earlier publication where we pointed to the fact that Matawalle has been financing the failure of the APC in Zamfara since 2023 election season, hence even now he has been actively involved in the so-called mega party project with the opposition group”, the statement has claimed.
