The leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) faction in Zamfara state has clarified that Hon. Aminu Jaji has no intention of leaving the APC for another party.
According to Mansur Khalifa Kaura, the factional secretary of APC in Zamfara, APC is a project in which Jaji has heavily invested.
In a statement issued on Saturday night, Mansur Khalifa Kaura, the factional secretary, stated that Hon. Jaji won his local government for President Asiwaju, delivered the state for President Asiwaju, and also mobilized resources to support President Asiwaju’s project throughout the entire North West as Director of Mobilization.
The statement reads in part: “Our attention has been drawn to another mischievous publication by some desperate political losers within the Zamfara APC aimed at destroying the hard-earned reputation of our political mentor, Rt Hon. Dr Aminu Sani Jaji.”
“For the record, the picture released carrying the images of the NNPP National leader Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and that of Hon. Aminu Sani Jaii by these desperate politicians who are known to us is an old picture snapped before the inauguration of the 10th national assembly when our political mentor visited some powerful party supporters in Nigeria seeking for their support for his candidature of Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives”.
“Visit to Kwankwaso, our political leader Aminu Sani Jaji reached out to many prominent Nigerian politicians and canvassed for their support with a bid to win the post of Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives as he worked round the clock to pursue a genuine transformation agenda through effective legislation for Nigerian people”.
“During that same period there were evidence which shows the former Governor of Zamfara Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar who equally contested for the post of the Senate President paid similar visit to Kwankwaso the NNPP National leader just the way another photo of Matawalle the Honourable Minister of State for Defence as well as the suspended party chairman of the APC Zamfara Tukur Umar Danfulani paid a similar visit to Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso aimed at canvassing support for the candidature of Sen. Godswill Akpabio”.
“The people instigating this feud to frustrate Jaji and his teeming supporters out of the APC are those Zamfara politicians who instigated bad blood for the APC through their several failed promises to the people and corrupt behaviours emanating from seriality of lootings of public funds when they were on the seat of power”.
“Their antecedents caused the APC a heart-beat political crash which resulted to the party losing elections in both the 2019 and 2023 general elections in the state and beside, the development of the 2023 elections were tagged “the worst political experience in Nigeria’s recent time”.
“We call on the APC leadership led by former Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje to call the Minister of State for Defence Bello Matawalle into order hence he has continued to work his ways in making sure that APC has been frustrated at all costs in Zamfara”.
“The National leadership of the APC should take notice of our earlier publication where we pointed to the fact that Matawalle has been financing the failure of the APC in Zamfara since 2023 election season hence even now he has been actively involved in the so-called mega party project with the opposition group”.
“We want to make it very clear that Hon. Aminu Sani Jaji has been an APC man all his life and he has no intention to defect out of the APC since it was a project he invested heavily”.
According to him, APC in Zamfara led by Isiyaka Ajiya Anka will remain steadfast in ensuring that enemies of the APC are blocked in order not to work victoriously for the opposition.
“Aminu Sani Jaji and his millions of supporters will remain in APC and with President Tinubu at all cost and will continue to resist any campaign of calumny aimed at tarnishing the hard-earned reputation of the Federal lawmaker in the state”, he mentioned
