Another Faction Surfaces In Zamfara APC, Escalating Party Turmoil

The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is once again embroiled in crisis, as Hon. Sani Jaji, the federal lawmaker representing Kaura-named-Birnin Magaji Federal Constituency, and his supporters have formed a new faction within the party……… CONTINUE READING

Speaking at a press conference in Gusau on Wednesday, Hon. Aminu Abubakar MC, chairman of the Sani Jaji-led APC faction, criticized the party leadership for failing to foster unity among its members, citing selfish interests as the root cause.

“We attempted to highlight the dangers of disunity within our party to the leaders, but they refused to heed our advice,” Abubakar stated.

He expressed dismay over a recent reconciliation meeting of party stakeholders initiated by the former governor (now Defence Minister), Hon. Bello Mohammed Matawalle, where no representatives from the Jaji camp were invited. Abubakar deemed this exclusion as evidence of insincerity in efforts to reconcile factions within the party.

“How can the APC in Zamfara be considered whole without Hon. Sani Jaji?” Abubakar questioned. “If he is not a stakeholder, then who else qualifies?”

In response to these grievances, the faction has established a new APC Secretariat in the state, appointing a vice chairman and assistant secretary to oversee operations until new executive members are elected.

This development follows similar actions by Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa, who previously formed his own faction within the Zamfara APC. Consequently, the state chapter of the APC is now divided into three factions led by Defence Minister Hon. Bello Mohammed, Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa, and Hon. Sani Jaji.
