Dr Sani Abdulahi Shinkafi, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has dismissed the claim that there are two other factions of the party in the state led by former Governor Abdulaziz Yari and Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa.
Fielding questions from BBC Hausa Service monitored by DAILY POST in Gusau, the state capital, Dr Shinkafi, who is one of the contestants for the party’s national chairmanship, said that both ex-Governor Yari and Senator Marafa have since expelled themselves from the party.
According to him, the party is one in the state, saying that there is no faction in the state, stressing that the duo was only deceiving their supporters and do not want to tell them the truth.
Dr Shinkafi explained that Yari was rejected after he presented his old membership card when he went to the national secretariat of the party to buy an expression form for the national chairmanship contest.
“The national secretariat of the party is fully in support of Governor Matawalle’ group and has always been accord the group all necessary legitimacy,” he said.
He refuted the claim of fractionalization of the party in the state, noting that the national secretariat of the party does not even recognize the so-called factions.
