A coalition of elders groups under the auspices of Concerned Elders for Peace, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in North-west has called on the national chairman of the APC, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, to take disciplinary action against Hon. Aminu Sani Jaji over alleged anti-party activities
Jaji who is currently a member of the House of Representatives from Zamfara state, has been engaging on other activities capable of ruining the party chances in 2027.
This was contained in a press statement issued and made available to newsmen in Sokoto by the Zonal Coordinator of the coalition, Alhaji Aliyu Mammani Kaura.
The coalition called on the national chairman to take serious action against Jaji over his alleged clandestine romance with PDP led government in the state.
It however, called on the national chairman to warn Jaji to refrain from the unwarranted attack of the defence minister Hon. Bello Matawalle and Senator Abdulazeez Yari Abubakar because according to him, they are the pillars of the APC in Zamfara state.
Kaura who described the duo of Matawallen Maradun and Abdulazeez Yari as lifejacket of the party in Zamfara, added that anybody attacking them is a real enemy of the party in the state.
He also accused Jaji of sponsoring media attacks on party leaders and promoting discord within the party.
According to the coalition, Jaji’s actions have brought political rancour particularly in Zamfara state APC and caused disaffection amongst the members
The statement stated that despite the party’s efforts to reconcile with Jaji, he has continued to engage in divisive behaviour, using social media to attack party leaders.
The coalition warned that if Jaji’s actions are not checked, they could lead to the destruction of the party’s unity and cohesion in Zamfara State and the North West region.
“The continued display of pride and disregard for party leadership by Hon. Sani Jaji has severe consequences that could lead to indiscipline and artificial problems for the party’s progress in Zamfara state.
“Jaji’s negative approach towards some party chieftains in Zamfara state is alarming and worrisome and can destroy the unity, discipline, and political development of the party in the North West region.
“The recent personal attacks and utterances allegedly sponsored by Jaji’s political movement group on social media against former governors Sen. Abdul’aziz Yari and Hon. Bello Matawalle are disgusting and irresponsible.
“Also, the utterances of Jaji’s media aide, Mansur Aminu Khalifa, are equally irresponsible and exuberant, intended to malign, abuse, and insult party leaders who have sacrificed much to unite the party in Zamfara state.
“Despite knowing about Jaji’s recent meetings and political romance with the PDP-led government in Zamfara state, the APC in the state allowed him and his group to return to mainstream politics. However, they have continued to dissent on issues that bring disrepute to the party’s progress in the state.
“Although the party suspended Jaji and his aide last year due to their nefarious activities, including indiscipline and bad conduct, nothing has changed, and that makes it clear that Jaji’s behaviour is a result of his allegiance to external interests rather than the party’s well-being.
“As a political leader, Jaji should focus on serving his constituents and delivering services rather than sponsoring social media attacks against perceived political enemies.
“Zamfara APC is a family, and any action to destroy its hard-earned peace and unity should be resisted, hence, our call in the party’s leadership to act fast ahead of the 2027 elections,”the statement read in part.
