The immediate previous National Secretary of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Dr. Sani Shinkafi has declared that the former Governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari had no genuine membership card of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Shinkafi made the claims on Wednesday in Abuja while interacting with journalists. He also utilized the opportunity to state his intent to join the Chairmanship race of the APC.

Shinkafi insisted that Yari who had actually indicated interest to contest for the position was technically not a member of the ruling celebration.

He said he was not in the race to whittle down the impact and the possibilities of Yari but preserved that his choice to boycott the revalidation and registration workout had actually already disqualified him from the race.

Shinkafi stated: “To me, Abdulaziz Yari knows who I am. He is one of my buddies in those days prior to he became guv and turned himself into a mini-god. Prior to I and Matawalle became good friends, I have been friends with Yari.

“As far as the nationwide record of the APC is worried, in my text of press briefing, I have made more emphasis on the credible and proven subscription register.

“I challenge you and I challenge everybody here to fulfill and go Abdulazeez Yari and ask him, let him show you his genuine and revalidated membership card as a card-carrying member of APC.

“As far as we are concerned, he is currently instantly disqualified from this race and based upon that I don’t desire our State to take threat of not taking part, or not taking a slot in our excellent celebration and I have actually decided to join the race. You can go and verify from his ward, his name is not on the register and he doesn’t have an authentic membership card.”
