GUSAU- Wamban Shinkafi Democratic Front, a group in the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara, on Tuesday affirmed President Bola Tinubu as the sole presidential candidate of the APC in the 2027 General Elections.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the endorsement followed a voice vote from the members of the APC from 147 wards in the 14 local government areas in Gusau.
NAN recalls that the party’s stakeholders in the state led by Sen. Abdul’aziz Yari had recently endorsed Tinubu’s second term bid.
The endorsement followed earlier endorsement by the Chairman of the group, Yusha’u Mada after moving the motion at the an event in Gusau on Tuesday.
Mada described Tinubu as a great leader who wants the even development of Nigeria.
“On behalf of the entire members of this group, we unanimously agree with the leadership style of President Tinubu to bring positive changes in the country.
“We have noticed rapid development in the country especially in the areas of infrastructural development.
“We are also satisfied with the effort of Mr President for addressing security challenges, reviving economic sector and promoting food and security sectors of the country,” he explained.
Also speaking, Alhaji Sani Shinkafi, the founder of the group and chieftain of the party in the state, called on the party members to avoid anti-party activities ahead of the 2027 general elections in the state.
Shinkafi stated that there was the need for the APC members in the state to distance themselves from any anti-party activities.
According to him, lack of unity, anti-party activities by aggrieved APC members in the state led the party to lose the governorship position in the 2023 general elections.
He lamented that those that participated in the anti-party activities due to their disagreements with other members of the party failed to gain any reward from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led government in the state.
Shinkafi urged the party leadership in the state under Tukur Danfulani to ensure justice and fairness in its preparations for the 2025 general elections.
He added that the APC must make sure that it conducted free and fair primaries for all the political positions.
Shinkafi urged that the party must give every member the opportunity to contest according to the provisions of the constitution of the party.
The event was attended by a crowd of APC members from the 14 local government areas of the state.(NAN)
