The All Progressives Congress (APC) party in Zamfara State is on the brink of a crisis as the fresh primary election approaches, following a court order. The situation intensified when Hassan Dangaladima, an aspirant, filed a petition accusing the party's National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, of bias. Dangaladima claims that Yilwatda unilaterally formed a committee to conduct the primary election without consulting the National Working Committee (NWC), which he heads.
According to the petition, Yilwatda made the nomination without convening a meeting of the NWC, as required. Additionally, Dangaladima alleges that his main rival for the ticket, Aminu Sani Jaji, is not a party member. The APC National Chairman, through his media aide, dismissed the allegations as baseless, stating that the committee was correctly constituted.
The Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, and the President Bola Tinubu's re-election campaign Director-General, Abdulaziz Yari, both from Zamfara State, have recently joined the APC.
