Muhammad Kabir-Sani, former AAC governorship candidate in Zamfara, has defected to the APC, led by Aminu Jaji. Accompanied by members from the former PDP candidates’ forum, the group joined the Jajiyya movement to enhance the party’s influence. Leaders from both camps expressed confidence in the APC’s developmental agenda and commitment to unity in their political endeavors.
A significant political shift occurred in Zamfara as Muhammad Kabir-Sani, the 2023 governorship candidate for the African Action Congress (AAC), defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC). This transition, facilitated by Aminu Jaji, the APC representative from Zamfara, included not only Mr. Kabir-Sani but also members from the former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) State House of Assembly candidates’ forum. The defectors, along with thousands of supporters, aligned with the Jajiyya APC political movement led by Isiyaka Ajiya-Anka during a gathering at Mr. Jaji’s residence in Gusau.
The former governorship candidate expressed confidence in the APC’s leadership, stating that their decision was influenced by the achievements and developmental efforts showcased by Aminu Jaji in both his constituency and Zamfara state. Ibrahim Labbo-Anka, representing the PDP state house assembly candidates’ forum, echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing the APC’s position as the leading political party in the area. This group revealed their intention to contribute actively to the APC’s mission of state development.
In welcoming the new members, Aminu Jaji, who chairs the House Committee on Ecological Fund, praised their defection as a beneficial development for both the APC at state and national levels. He assured them of equal treatment and a collaborative partnership aimed at enhancing the party’s dynamics. Jaji expressed optimism that the new members’ political expertise would strengthen the Jajiyya movement and contribute positively to the APC’s overall influence.
Isiyaka Ajiya-Anka, the State Chairman of the APC-Jajiyya movement, described their organization as the most robust political group in Zamfara, boasting active infrastructure across all fourteen local government areas. He assured the defectors of their full inclusion in party activities and encouraged them to commit wholeheartedly to fostering unity and stability within the APC.
The recent defectors from AAC and PDP to APC signify a pivotal moment in Zamfara’s political landscape. The alignment of these groups under the Jajiyya political movement and the leadership of Aminu Jaji highlights a commitment to collaborative state development and party unity. The incorporation of experienced politicians is anticipated to strengthen the APC’s influence within the region.
