Abdulaziz Yari, governor of
Zamfara state, says elections will not take place in the state if candidates of
the ruling party are excluded.
Speaking at the All Progressives
Congress (APC) campaign rally in Talata Mafara local government area of the
state, the governor maintained that the party conducted primaries which
produced candidates for the forthcoming elections.
He added that it will be a huge
mistake and threat to national security for the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) to exclude APC candidates in the state from contesting.
INEC had barred the ruling APC
from fielding candidates for elective positions in the state over the party’s
inability to conduct primaries as a result of intra-party crisis.
“There is no way elections will
be conducted in Zamfara state without APC candidates, despite Zamfara High
Court judgment which confirmed that APC conducted primaries in the state, INEC
is saying we can’t field candidates” Yari said.
“All our actions are based on
Zamfara High Court Order, we are therefore advising INEC to obey the order and
include the names of Zamfara APC candidates list submitted to the commission.”
Yari, however, asked the people
to vote for President Muhammadu Buhari and all APC candidates contesting for
the elections.
