INEC confirms Shehu Hussaini as Zamfara AA Chairman

By Lateef Ibrahim

The Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC), has affirmed Hon. Shehu Hussaini, popularly known as Wazirin Kucheri, as the authentic chairman of the Action Alliance, (AA), in Zamfara State.
The confirmation followed the resolution of a protracted leadership tussle within the party, which had lasted for more than a year.
Speaking in Gusau, Hussaini confirmed the development, noting that the commission’s decision aligns with a court ruling that recognised the executives under the party’s national chairman, Barrister Adekunle Omaje.
The resolution, observers say, ends months of internal division that had weakened the party’s structure in Zamfara.
The ADC spokesman, Bolaji Abdullahi, disclosed the directive after the party’s caucus meeting held in Abuja.
“Though final order has been given to all members to resign membership of other political parties, the caucus was silent on the timeline,” he said.
Mr Abdullahi also disclosed that all the party’s presidential aspirants for 2027 had agreed to support whoever wins the primaries.
He added that the party denied any interest in registration or otherwise, stating that the All Democratic Alliance was seeking to be registered as a political party.
He noted that the National Working Committee (NWC) of ADC would announce the date for primaries to elect its candidates for the off-cycle governorship elections in Osun and Èkìtì.
Mr Abdullahi said that the meeting was attended by ADC national chairman, David Mark, former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, national secretary Rauf Aregbeshola, and former Governor Nasir el-Rufai.
Others at the meeting include former Governor Aminu Tambuwal and former Governor Chibuike Amaechi, among others.
Peter Obi sent apologies but reaffirmed his commitment to the decisions made at the meeting, according to Mr Abdullahi.
