“The situation has raised grievous fear, that the reform exercise the party introduced has been compromised, has caused in party factions and disunity among the ranks and files of members of APC in the state.

“We hereby urged the National Chairman of our great party (APC) to constitute independent and transparent investigation panel to address this act of impunity and injustices, and anyone found wanting should be sanctioned in accordance with the party constitutional disciplinary measures.

“If it is not check-mated in the earliest possible time, it will derail the aims and objectives of this technological innovation by the pragmatic National Chairman of our Party.

“Those entrusted with the responsibility of the registration exercise have compromised their position and breached the truth entrusted to them by the National Leadership of the party.

“There is urgent need for the National leaders of the party to ensure there is transparency, fairness and impartiality in the Nation wide on going E-Registration exercise for both old and new members of APC in Zamfara state, irrespective of their party loyalty to any political bigwigs and money bags in the state who have hijacked the central nervous system of the party, the state working committee or the party structures at all levels.

“They keep threatening, intimidating and harassing other members of the party who have not succumbed to their undemocratic attitude, flagrant disrespect for internal party democracy.

“I hereby urged the National Chairman and all members of the National Working Committee of our great party to as a matter of utmost urgency address this exclusion of members of our political movement, “Wamban Shinkafi Democratic Front”.

And to avoid repeat of the
bad history of 2019 and 2023, respectively where the party lost election to the main opposition party Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
