The membership e-registration exercise of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara State has ignited controversy due to allegations of disenfranchisement made by a key party stakeholder, Aminu Sani Jaji.
Jaji, who serves as the chairman of the Jajiyya Political Movement, accused the former governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari, and the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, of monopolizing the registration process.
During a press conference on Tuesday, Jaji claimed that Yari and Matawalle, in collusion with the APC National Organising Secretary, intentionally excluded his political faction as well as the state Organising Secretary of the party, Bashir Ahmad Gusau, from participating in the registration exercise.
He argued that this alleged exclusion jeopardizes fairness, inclusivity, and internal democracy within the ruling party, cautioning that such actions could endanger party unity in the state.
Jaji also referenced the 2019 general elections, asserting that similar internal challenges were used to marginalize former governor Ahmed Sani Yeriman Bakura, a situation he believes weakened the party at that time.
He urged the APC national leadership to conduct an independent investigation into the issue and implement corrective actions against any party officials found to be engaging in exclusionary practices.
The leader of the Jajiyya Political Movement also called for the party to establish clear operational guidelines to ensure strict adherence to APC regulations throughout the e-registration process.
Jaji appealed to the media and independent observers to impartially monitor the registration process, reaffirming his group’s dedication to due process, transparency, and accountability within the APC.
