His Excellency the Executive Governor of Zamfara state Dr. Abdul-Aziz Yari yesterday Sunday, 9th September 2019 announced the names of candidates from Governorship, Senate, of to State Assembly under his party APC his administration is going to support.
The candidates whom were mostly not the people’s favorites clearly indicates that the Governor never made any consultation with the stakeholders of the part such as Senator Ahmad Sani Yarima and Senator Kabiru Marafa, even the party’s support groups were very surprise the list never include any of the Candidates whose posters are everywhere in the state such as:
1-Ibrahim Wakkala
2-Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa
3-Aminu Sani jaji
4-Mansur Dan Ali
5-Dauda Lawan Dare
6-Muttaka Rini
7-Hassan Lawal Dan iya
8-Sagir Hamidu
It was reported that Senator Kabiru Marafa has already bought Govership Nomination Form for his contest, which is a clear indication that he didnt accept the list.
Equally, Senator Yarima is also leading the supporters of his favorite candidate and the people’s choice for the Governorship election His Excellency the Deputy Governor Malam Ibrahim Wakkala to personally buy the Nomination Form for him today in Abuja.
These 3 factions now are going to stretch their muscles in the state, the most powerful will get it. It would be recalled that in 2011 elections Senator Ahmad Sani Yarima answer’s his name as the father of Zamfara politics as he come and unseat the incumbent Governor of the state Mahmud Aliyu Shinkafi after he decamped to PDP. The question a lot of people are asking is that, is it going to be a repeat of 2011? Only Allah knows.
