The factional secretary of All Progressive Congress (APC) in Zamfara, Hon. Mansur Khalifa Kaura has reminded the party stakeholders of political history of APC in Zamfara, saying more troubles await the party come 2027.
In a statement issued on Sunday in Gusau, Hon. Khalifa Kaura disclosed that recent developments within the party clearly demonstrate that more troubles await the APC Zamfara in 2027 and even beyond.
The statement reads in parts: “It does appear that Zamfara APC leaders, the likes of Sen. Yari and Bello Muhammad Matawalle the serving Minister of State for Defence and indeed their supporters are not good students of history because the recent developments within the party clearly demonstrate that more troubles await the APC Zamfara in 2027 and even beyond.
“Except if the rumors of the formation of the Mega party are true and maybe Yari, Matawalle and their teeming supporters may be willing to join the new party (Mega party) if it is eventually formed, no serious-minded person will think of wasting his time suffering for the APC in Zamfara with the hope of winning election.
“When Senator Kabir Marafa made some predictions about the future of the Zamfara APC in 2019, not many people understood his political prophecy but gradually his predictions of the crash of the APC are visibly manifesting with no sign of remorse.
“We believe that the problem of Zamfara APC is caused by three major political characteristics exhibited by the principal leaders of the party which eventually infected their teeming followers.
“Number one, the sinister “political arrogance” by the leader of one of the political groups who always believes that there will be no APC without him in Zamfara and that with money he can induce and influence the unbelievable within the party and beyond.
“Secondly, another set of problems affecting the party can be seen from the perspective of “childish behavior” and lack of seriousness by one of the leaders of the APC who always relies on opportunism rather than competency to continue to manipulate powers at all cost within the party.
“The third factor is that of “blind followers” who were psychologically enslaved through artificial poverty and always succumb to the threat of these two categories of leaders because of monetary inducements”.
He said the characteristics have manifestly spoken volumes about what is happening with the Zamfara APC and why no one will take the party seriously except if he has fallen within the third category.
“The article by Yusuf Idris Gusau dated 13th July 2024 is a clear manifestation of the third category of the problem stated in this piece and how he (Mr. Idris) is badly infected because the writer has fallen short of understanding the problem confronting the party in the state not to talk of communicating to people the best way to manage the crisis.
“But anyone who is very familiar with the crisis within the Zamfara APC since 2018, will agree with us that the party has lost its solid ground as a result of the political arrogance of former Governor Yari and for Dr Aminu Jaji and his allies they only worked against the single-handed decision and indecision of the former Governor by getting his illegal political deal aborted by the Apex Court,” he concluded.
