Preparations for the forthcoming congresses of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara State have come under increasing strain, as disagreements among key stakeholders threaten to disrupt the process.
Findings indicate that divergent interests among party leaders have heightened tensions within the state chapter, raising concerns about the smooth organisation and conduct of the planned congresses.
The situation drew wider attention following comments by the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Mohammed Matawalle, who expressed concerns over what he described as exclusion from recent political arrangements within the party.
According to Matawalle, certain decisions relating to party structures and future political alignments were made without adequate consultation among stakeholders. He subsequently called for greater caution and inclusiveness in the management of party affairs, while urging members to remain patient and committed to the party.
The developments are occurring alongside ongoing political realignments involving influential figures in the state, including Dauda Lawal and Abdulaziz Yari, further contributing to the evolving dynamics within the party.
Sources within the APC indicated that efforts are currently underway to address the concerns and promote unity ahead of the congresses. It was gathered that consultations have intensified at the national level, with party leaders engaging stakeholders in a bid to resolve differences and present a unified front.
Observers have noted that the outcome of these ongoing engagements will play a decisive role in determining both the timing and the overall success of the APC congresses in Zamfara State.
