Shinkafi asks INEC to withdraw Ya’u’s name as APC senatorial candidate in Zamfara

Dr Sani Abdullahi Shinkafi has asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to remove Senator Sahabi Alhaji Ya’u from the APC candidate list for Zamfara North Senatorial District. On October 20, the Court of Appeal in Sokoto dismissed Ya’u’s appeal and upheld the Federal High Court in Gusau’s decision nullifying the disputed primary and ordering a fresh one. In a letter dated October 27, Shinkafi’s lawyer urged INEC to withdraw Ya’u’s name until a new primary is held or the Supreme Court gives a final ruling. Shinkafi said keeping the candidacy in place could prevent the APC from fielding a candidate and jeopardise its participation in the 2027 general elections.
