APC NWC cancels Zamfara governorship primaries

The Prof. Abubakar Faki-led All Progressives Congress (APC) Zamfara State Governorship Primaries Committee has announced the cancellation of the primaries held in the state.

The party said the cancellation was due to election malpractices including snatching of election materials and result sheets by the State’s government officials which were taken to the Government House, Gusau.

The APC acting National Publicity Secretary, Mr Yekini Nabena, in a statement issued in the early hours of today, said the process was also marred by violence.

Nabena, who said the Party’s National Working Committee (NWC) subsequently approved the cancellation of the governorship primaries, added that a new date would be announced soonest.

He renewed the NWC’s commitment to free, fair and transparent primaries across the country.
