A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and member of the Tinubu–Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, Dr Sani Abdullahi Shinkafi, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the APC National Chairman, Prof Nentawe Yilwatda, to urgently wade into what he described as the widening divisions within the party in Zamfara State.
Shinkafi said growing tensions among key stakeholders in the state were threatening the APC’s cohesion ahead of the 2027 general elections, warning that unless the leadership promotes dialogue and reconciliation, the party risks repeating the mistakes that cost it power in 2023.

In a statement he personally signed on behalf of the Patriots for the Advancement of Peace and Social Development, Shinkafi appealed to party leaders at all levels, including the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, to put aside personal rivalries and work towards uniting the APC’s fractured base.
“It is important for all leaders, including former governors and serving ministers, to come together and rebuild the APC in Zamfara. We need cooperation, not competition, if the party is to move forward,” Shinkafi said.
He cautioned that internal rivalries and factionalism could once again hand victory to the opposition if left unresolved.
“A house divided against itself cannot stand. We must stop the cycle of internal rivalry and focus on rebuilding trust among our members,” he said firmly.
The former National Secretary of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) observed that the Zamfara APC had been plagued by deep-seated internal wrangling since losing the 2023 governorship election to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
According to him, political blocs loyal to various power brokers; including Hon. Aminu Sani Jaji, Senator Kabiru Marafa, and several former governors, had been working in isolation instead of pulling together to strengthen the party’s grassroots structures.
“Zamfara APC has many experienced leaders who have sacrificed for the party. We should channel that experience into peacebuilding, not rivalry,” Shinkafi noted.
