Zamfara APC Supporters Accuse Lawmaker Jaji of Misleading the public, Betraying Party

Supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara State have accused Hon. Aminu Sani Jaji, the House of Representatives member for Kaura/Birnin Magaji Federal Constituency, of misleading the public and working against the party’s interests.

In a statement released on Sunday, the chairman of the APC Supporters’ Group, Muhammad Kabir Birnin Magaji, criticized Jaji for engaging in anti-party activities, which led to his suspension from the APC.

“We have repeatedly warned him to stop linking himself with the party, as his actions and utterances do not reflect the values of the APC,” Kabir stated.

The group also dismissed Jaji’s criticisms of the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, as baseless, arguing that Jaji owes his political career to Matawalle and former Governor Abdulaziz Yari.

A major point of contention, according to Kabir, is Jaji’s discontent over the distribution of seven trucks of rice donated by President Bola Tinubu during Ramadan, which was overseen by Matawalle.

“The minister launched the distribution, and genuine APC members witnessed it being shared peacefully across the state. Why is Jaji so pained about this?” Kabir questioned.

He further noted that Matawalle personally funded over 50 trucks of rice, distributed ₦1 billion to party stakeholders, and donated 100 cows to APC supporters in Zamfara during Sallah celebrations.

The APC supporters accused Jaji of secretly working with Governor Dauda Lawal of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to destabilize the APC in Zamfara. Kabir claimed Jaji even held meetings with PDP members during Ramadan but made no contributions to their welfare.

The group labeled Jaji as “two-faced and unprincipled”, citing his antagonism towards Zamfara APC Chairman Tukur Danfulani and his alleged efforts to discredit Matawalle and Yari, two of the state’s most influential political figures.
