Dr Sani Abdulahi Shinkafi, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has said former Governor Abdulaziz Yari and Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa have since expelled themselves from the party.
Fielding questions from BBC Hausa in Gusau, the state capital, Dr Shinkafi, dismissed the claim that there are two other factions of the party in the state led by former Governor Abdulaziz Yari and Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa.
According to the APC chieftain, the party is one in the state, saying that there is no faction in the state.
According to him: “The national secretariat of the party is fully in support of Governor Matawalle’ group and has always been accord the group all necessary legitimacy,”
He added: “We are surprised by the claim by none members of the party that two other factions of the party exist in Zamfara State led by former Governor Abdul Aziz Yari and senator Kabiru Garbage Marafa,”
“When senator Kabiru Garba Marafa conducted his parallel Congresses in the state where did he submit his result? Definitely not the national secretariat of the party”
Dr Sani Abdulahi Shinkafi was the former national secretary of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) but defected to the APC with Governor Matawalle last year.
