Jaji’s Loyalty APC, President Tinubu Remains Unshaken

By Abdullahi Alhassan, Kaduna

The secretary of All Progressive Congress APC, Zamfara State Jajiwa movement Mansur Aminu Khalifa has slammed what he described fabricated Media report by a non existent elders committee of APC North west.

In a Press statement signed and made available to newsmen said “The attention of the Jajiya Political Movement has been drawn to a fabricated media report by a non-existent elders committee of the APC, North West.

“This report attempts to link the distinguished Honorable member representing Kaura/Birnin Magaji Federal Constituency, Rt. Hon Dr. Aminu Sani Jaji, with allegations of anti-party activities and romance with the opposition PDP.

“We are not bothered by these allegations, as it is well-known that Bello Matawalle, the current Minister of State for Defence, has a history of hiding behind non-existent structures to damage the reputation of people of integrity.

“He employed the same tactics during his time in the PDP, damaging the names of his opponents and leaders like Abdulaziz Yari and others. Even after he joined the APC, he continued this behavior, which significantly contributed to his defeat in the 2023 governorship elections.

“The evidence of Matawalle’s campaign of calumny and character assassination against former Governor Yari is still fresh in the minds of his followers. This behavior was one of the primary reasons many refused to work towards his victory in 2023, as they could not overlook what he had done to their political principal.

The current Governor of Zamfara State, Dauda Lawal, is also a victim of Matawalle’s alleged character assassination campaigns. Matawalle sponsored numerous fake groups and associations to damage Dauda Lawal’s reputation. However, this tactic ultimately earned Dauda more sympathy from voters, contributing to his victory in the 2023 governorship race.

“Now, Matawalle has seen Hon. Aminu Sani Jaji as a potential threat to his ambitions and has resorted to using the same tactics to damage his reputation.
However, Matawalle underestimates the national leadership of the APC, led by Former Governor of Kano State Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje. They are well aware of the strength and political capacity of every politician in Zamfara State.

The statement maintained that “Matawalle’s allegations against Jaji, including romance with the PDP, are baseless and lack credibility. He has raised similar allegations against Yarima, Senator. Yari, and others using fake media links and accounts.

“We challenge the Hon.Minister of State for Defence to provide evidence of the non-existent elders committee meeting in Kaduna. “We urge him to release video footage of the meeting where they conducted the media briefing, calling for the National body of the APC to caution Aminu Jaji over anti-party matters.

The statement added that “Our mentor and political leader, Aminu Sani Jaji, remains a die-hard supporter of the APC and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Matawalle, who chooses division over unity, should continue his evil actions. Only time will be his judge, just as it was in 2023.

“Dr. Aminu Sani Jaji is and will remain in a clear state of understanding with other well-meaning APC leaders in Zamfara State, including Senator Ahmed Sani Yarima, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, Former Governor Mahmud Aliyu Shinkafi, Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa, Ambassador Bashir Yuguda, Sani Abdullahi Wamban Shinkafi, and other leaders. He is and will always be ready to work with them towards the overall success of the APC in Zamfara State and Nigeria.

“We urge the APC National Headquarters to conduct a survey regarding the 20,000 bags of rice donated to Zamfara State by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“The party will discover its real enemies. While people like Aminu Jaji and Sen. Abdulaziz Yari used their hard-earned money to purchase hundreds of metric tons of assorted food items and shared them with party members, Minister Matawalle was busy diverting the rice donated by President Tinubu to elsewhere.

“It is on record that not up to 7,000 out of 20,000 bags of rice donated to Zamfara APC supporters by President Tinubu were brought to Zamfara, and the rest were reserved in Abuja for sales. The party can verify this independently.

“We call on our supporters to remain focused on promoting the APC and not be swayed by divisionists like Matawalle, who seek to destroy the APC in Zamfara at all costs.
