A young politician Abdulmalik Garba Gajam who has been nursing for gubernatorial ambition since 2020 has finally picked his APC membership card and declared his intent to contest for the post of Governor of Zamfara state.
The politician who made the formal declaration when he featured in Thunder Blowers TV Show “Tirka-Tirka” said his decision to go for the APC is because of its popularity among the people of Zamfara state, especially the masses.
“If you look at the historical precedent since 1999 APP/ANPP have been the leading party and by 2013 it was the ANPP that collapsed into the All Progressive Congress (APC) and since that period it has been the same party that has been winning election in Zamfara state”.
“PDP has always been the party of the rich and most influential people in Zamfara and that is why it has never won election because its ideologies and manifestations are always disconnected with the masses”.
Gajam added “even the former Governor Mahmuda Shibkafi who defect to the PDP after the 2007 election had been defeated eventually by the masses and same thing with Matawalle, especially his first two years after 2019. So, we have to go for the winning party which popular among the majority of the Zamfara populace”.
On why, he refused to go for the new party, he said new political party cannot win election in Zamfara considering the attitude and political behavior of typical Zamfara voter.
When asked which factions of the APC he belongs to he said he belongs to the faction of the masses noting that when the time for the primary election come the party members would decide.
“I will face the seating Governor and any other person who is contesting for the Governor for the primary elections of the party. I am determined and would not step down for anyone because it is a politics” Gajam added
