Supporters of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Zamfara State have issued a stern warning to Aminu Sani Jaji, the member of parliament representing Kaura/Birnin Magaji Federal Constituency, accusing him of misleading the public and betraying the party’s values.
The group has called on Jaji to cease associating himself with the APC, claiming his actions are a deliberate attempt to undermine the party and its leadership.
In a statement released on Sunday, Muhammad kabir Birnin Magaji, chairman of the APC supporters’ group, lambasted Jaji for what he described as “anti-party activities” that led to his suspension from the APC.
“We have repeatedly warned him to stop linking himself with the party, as his actions and utterances do not reflect the values of the APC,” kabir said.
“His continuous attempts to associate with us are deceptive and unacceptable.”
The supporters dismissed Jaji’s criticisms of Matawalle as baseless, asserting that the lawmaker owes much of his political career to the influence of Matawalle and former Governor Abdulaziz Yari.
Kabir highlighted a specific point of contention: Jaji’s apparent frustration over the distribution of seven trucks of rice donated by President Bola Tinubu during Ramadan, which Matawalle oversaw.
“The minister launched the distribution, and genuine APC members witnessed it being shared peacefully across the state,” he said.
“Why is Jaji so pained about this? He is not the only lawmaker in the party from Zamfara—there are senators and other representatives ahead of him.”
The chairman went further, noting that Matawalle has personally funded the distribution of over 50 trucks of rice,
distributed sum of one billion naira to the party’s stakeholders,too
and 100 cows to APC supporters in Zamfara during this Sallah celebrations.
“Why is Jaji concerned about this if he is not working for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)?” kabir questioned.
The APC supporters accused Jaji of aligning himself with PDP Governor Lawal Dare to destabilise the APC in Zamfara.
Kabir, said Jaji held meetings with PDP members during Ramadan, but there’s no evidence he distributed anything—not even to them,” kabir added.
Jaji’s conduct, the group argued, exposes him as a “two-faced and unprincipled figure” more interested in personal gain than party loyalty.
The group pointed to his ongoing antagonism towards Zamfara APC Chairman Tukur Danfulani and his alleged attempts to tarnish the reputations of Matawalle and Yari—two of the state’s most influential political heavyweights—as evidence of his disloyalty.“
It is absurd for Jaji to compare himself to Matawalle, whose leadership and political experience far surpass anything Jaji has achieved,” kabir said.
“His hypocrisy in parading himself as an APC member while secretly working with the opposition to sabotage us is disgraceful.”
The supporters urged Jaji to leave the APC and test his political relevance independently.
“Jaji’s politics is based on eye service. Whenever he comes to Abuja, he acts like a big man, but in Zamfara State, he is a nobody. If he thinks he is popular, he should join another party and test his popularity.
“The APC in Zamfara has no room for treachery and disloyalty—his charade must end now.
“If he truly believes he is significant, let him join another party and see if he can secure re-election without the support of Matawalle, Yari, and their loyal followers,” Kabir challenged.
