Former APGA National Secretary, Shinkafi Defects To APC

 

 

A former National Secretary of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Dr Sani Shinkafi has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

 

 

NAN reports that Shinkafi who was the APGA governorship candidate at the 2019 general elections in Zamfara, disclosed this at a news conference in Gusau on Tuesday.

 

 

He explained that he defected to APC to support Gov. Bello Matawalle to rebuild Zamfara.

 

 

“I am joining Matawalle in APC, with the APGA structure in the state and 14 local government areas (LGAs) of the state.

 

 

“I am not joining APC for material gains. I am joining Matawalle to develop my state.

 

 

“I am leaving APGA not because I don’t like the party, but I am leaving APGA in order to join Matawalle in the APC to rebuild Zamfara State.

 

 

“I was invited by Governor Bello Matawalle himself to join him in the APC, and as such, I see no reason why I should not join him,” he said.

 

 

Shinkafi, however, maintained that he was one of the founding fathers of APGA and he had been in the party for 19 years and rose up to the rank of national secretary of the party.

 

 

“I am not forcing anybody to defect to APC among my supporters, I will continue to relate with those who chose to remain in APGA because of our long existing relationship,” he added.
