Fresh controversy has erupted within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara State after senior party figure Aminu Sani Jaji accused influential members of manipulating the ongoing electronic membership registration exercise.
The lawmaker, who leads the Jajiyya Political Movement, alleged that the process was deliberately structured to sideline certain factions within the party.
Jaji Claims Registration Process Is Biased
According to Jaji, the e-registration exercise has allegedly been controlled in a manner that favors political allies connected to former Zamfara governor Abdulaziz Yari and Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle.
He further claimed that some party officials at the national level collaborated in excluding members associated with his political structure.
The APC chieftain also alleged that the Zamfara State Organising Secretary, Bashir Ahmad Gusau, was unfairly sidelined during the process.
According to Gossip News Now, the accusations have intensified concerns about internal tensions within the ruling party ahead of future political contests in the state.
Warning Over Internal Democracy
Jaji warned that failure to ensure fairness during the exercise could create deeper divisions inside the APC.
He argued that political exclusion and factional control have historically weakened party structures and damaged internal unity.
Drawing comparisons with previous political disputes in Zamfara, Jaji recalled earlier disagreements that reportedly affected the party’s stability before the 2019 elections.
The APC leader suggested that repeating similar mistakes could once again create avoidable crises within the party.
Call For Investigation And Sanctions
The senior politician urged the national leadership of the APC to investigate the allegations thoroughly.
He maintained that any official found guilty of undermining party procedures or promoting anti-democratic actions should face disciplinary measures.
Jaji also called for clearer operational guidelines to ensure that the e-registration process complies fully with party rules and constitutional provisions.
He stressed that transparency and equal participation remain necessary for strengthening confidence among party members across Zamfara State.
Appeal To Observers And Media Organisations
Beyond appealing to party authorities, Jaji encouraged journalists and independent observers to monitor the registration exercise closely.
He stated that external scrutiny could help guarantee accountability and discourage manipulation during the process.
The lawmaker insisted that his political camp remains committed to due process, fairness, and transparency despite the ongoing disagreements.
Growing Tensions Within Zamfara APC
The allegations once again highlight the fragile balance of power within the Zamfara chapter of the APC.
Political rivalries between influential figures in the state have repeatedly generated disputes over control of party structures and grassroots influence.
With future elections already shaping political calculations, observers believe internal struggles over membership registration could significantly affect alliances and party unity moving forward.
Commentary And Analysis
The dispute surrounding the APC e-registration exercise in Zamfara reflects the broader challenge of managing factional interests within major political parties in Nigeria.
Membership registration exercises are often viewed as strategic tools because they influence delegate strength, internal voting power, and future candidate selection processes.
Jaji’s allegations also reveal how deeply internal party politics can shape tensions long before elections officially begin.
If not carefully managed, such conflicts may weaken cohesion within the APC and create opportunities for rival political groups to exploit divisions.
At the same time, the controversy reinforces growing concerns about transparency and inclusiveness within internal party administration across Nigeria’s political landscape.
