… SAYS HE IS NOT A CARD CARRYING MEMBER OF APC
A Leading National Chairmanship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, Dr Sani Abdulahi Shinkafi has said that the former Governor of Zamfara State Abdulazeez Yari, an aspirant of APC chairmanship is not a registered member of the party and therefore cannot be chairman.
Shinkafi said that it is not conceivable for Yari to be a threat to his ambition to lead the party since he (Yari) is not a registered member of the party.
Shinkafi who spoke shortly after declaring his ambition to lead the APC said that he was in the race to win and not as a spoiler to Yari.
He said that he was in the contest to take advantage of his wealth of experience to move the APC forward.
“ It is with great pleasure and a sense of humility that I welcome you to this historic declaration, I am here today to formally express my interest to contest for the position of National Chairman of our great party All Progressives Congress (APC) at the National Convention slated for 26th February 2022.
“I am in the race because I know that I am eminently qualified to lead the party at this period of its development and not to act as a lackey for anybody. I want to state categorically that Abdulazeez Yari is technically disqualified to run for the leadership of the APC having failed to register in the just concluded revalidation exercise so having failed to register he is not a card carrying member of the party.
“With my wide experience as the immediate past National Secretary of the All-Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and the immediate past Secretary of the Board of Trustees of APGA I believe that I have what it takes to pilot the affairs of the APC and take it to greater heights.
“I have been in the service for several years; I resigned honorably to join politics and engage in Business. I am a seasoned technocrat who knows what it takes to manage human and material resources.
“I would want to continue with the great job being done by the Acting National Chairman of the Caretaker and Extra Ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) His Excellency Malam Mai Bunu in re-organizing and making the party the greatest party in Nigeria.”
