Dispute Erupts in Zamfara APC Over Governorship Nomination for 2027 Election
The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is embroiled in a dispute following the nomination of Alhaji Muktar Shehu Idri as the party's flag bearer for the 2027 governorship election. This decision has sparked tensions within the party, with some members supporting Idri's nomination while others oppose it, citing concerns over the best candidate for the position.
The controversy stems from the nullification of the 2019 governorship election results by the Supreme Court, which led to the emergence of the current Governor, Moham Bello Matawalle of the People's Democratic Party (PDP). Various APC stakeholders have expressed differing opinions on Idri's candidacy, highlighting divisions within the party.
Despite the disagreements, the APC leadership has urged members to remain calm and focus on building the party's structure ahead of the upcoming election.
