Ex-APGA National Secretary, Shinkafi, joins APC National Chairmanship race

A former National Secretary of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), Dr. Sani Abdullahi Shinkafi, has joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairmanship race.

Shinkafi, in a statement issued to newsmen in Gusau, Zamfara State, on Sunday, said his decision to contest the party’s National Chairmanship position was based on pressure from friends and political associates.

He said: “After wide consultations and discussions with my family, friends and political associates I have decided to heed the call to contest for the office of the National Chairman of our great party, the APC.

“With my wide experience as the immediate past National Secretary of APGA, I believe that I have what it takes to run the affairs of the APC.

“I would want to continue with the great job done by the Acting National Chairman, Malam Mai Bunu in re-organizing and making the party the greatest party in Nigeria.”

According to him, “If elected he will ensure that the values that birthed the party in 2014 are preserved.”

He promised to ensure that the era of impunity and imposing candidates against the will of the party’s followers is gone.

Shinkafi said the party needs a leader who commands respect among his contemporaries; a man whose mind is bounded by reconciliatory traits and elder statesman who has paid a price for APC to survive against his personal interest.
