A chieftain of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Zamfara State, Abdullahi Shinkafi, has faulted the recent action of former Governor Abdul-Aziz Yari and Senator Kabiru Marafa over the decision of the national leadership of the party in the state.
Shinkafi at a press conference in Gusau, the state capital on Thursday, called on the national leadership of the party to deal decisively with anyone who violates the constitution of the party.
The National Caretaker Committee Chairman of the APC, Mai Mala Buni, had during the formal defection of the Zamfara State Governor Bello Matawalle and other members of the party dissolved the state caretaker committee of the APC and declared Governor Matawalle as leader of the party in the state.
But the duo of former Governor Yari and Senator Marafa had rejected the dissolution of the committee, saying it is a move to hand over the party to Governor Bello Matawalle’s camp.
Shinkafi who was a former National Secretary in the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and who also defected to the APC with Governor Matawalle said stringent actions must be taken against Yari and Marafa to serve as a deterrent to others.
