Zamfara Governorship Candidate Ejects IDPs Living In His Houses For Voting Buhari

The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Zamfara State, Alhaji Sani Shinkafi has ejected all internally displaced persons taking shelter in his houses in Shinkafi, for voting the APC in Saturday’s Presidential election.

Shinkafi made the confirmation in Gusau ON Wednesday at a news conference organized by a coalition of some political parties in the state protesting against the elections.

According to NAN, he said:

“I have asked all the IDPs residing in my houses to immediately pack out because they are not serious in life.

He claimed that the Internally Displaced Persons allowed themselves to be bought over during the election by “the people who failed them.”

“These are people who had to leave their villages due to insecurity caused by a government that could not provide such basic necessity to them, yet they went and sold their votes at the last elections trying to bring back the same gang.”

According to him, in spite of his earlier advice to them “to vote out those who failed them in the past years”, they still voted them in.

Shinkafi said the coalition would not support the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) and all security chiefs in the state to handle the March 9, governorship and state assembly elections.

“This is because we have no confidence in them and their ability to be fair and just to us,” the APGA governorship candidate added.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the coalition is comprised of the PDP, APGA, ACCORD, NRM, APP, ADC, NPP, DPP and YPP.
