Shinkafi
By Luminous Jannamike
Fresh trouble is brewing in the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Zamfara State after a senatorial aspirant, Dr Sani Abdullahi Shinkafi, rejected the outcome of the Zamfara North primary and denied stepping down for any consensus candidate.
Shinkafi’s protest has reopened old wounds inside the Zamfara APC, with the party facing fresh allegations of candidate imposition, exclusion of cleared aspirants and violation of the Electoral Act, the same issues that led to the APC’s devastating loss of all elective positions in the state after the 2019 elections.
