Zamfara State senatorial aspirants on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), have expressed disappointment over alleged imposition of candidates.
One of the aspirants for Zamfara North Senatorial District, Sani Abdullahi Shinkafi, in a statement yesterday, accused the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, of shrinking the chances of the APC of winning the general elections in Zamfara State.

Shinkafi claimed that Matawalle arrived the state with a private jet along with past and serving governors of Zamfara State “claiming that Mr President had ordered that all aspirants for senate should withdraw for all serving senators for party primaries scheduled to hold on Tuesday, 19th May 2026.”
But, according to him, there was no meeting or consultation for what he described as “arbitrary order which contradicted earlier statements made by the President and National Chairman of our great party.”
He warned that Governor Dauda Lawal would be the major loser in the alleged conspiracy to exclude already cleared aspirants from participating in the senate primaries in Zamfara State as the chance of APC winning the elections in the state is minimal.
