APC Vows To Punish Members Challenging Matawalle’s Leadership In Zamfara
APC vows to punish members challenging Matawalle’s leadership in Zamfara. Mr Idris stated that Mr Matawalle remained the APC leader in Zamfara State.
The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has vowed to punish members trying to create problems in the party leadership in the state.
This is contained in a statement issued in Gusau on Tuesday by the State APC Publicity Secretary, Yusuf Idris.
He said, “The APC leadership under Alhaji Tukur Danfulani, we reiterate our support to President Bola Tinibu’s administration in the country.
Danfulani was elected under the supervision of INEC through a National Secretariat Congress Committee headed by a highly respected party man, Senator Kabiru Masari, who is the current political adviser to President Bola Tinubu.
“The Zamfara State chapter of the APC, read with dismay a concoction of lies attributed to one Mansur Khalifa, a nonentity in the official circles of the APC both in Zamfara and at the National Secretariat of our great party in Abuja.
“It is surprising that a non-member of the party or someone who has been suspended indefinitely from the party from ward level, ratified by the State Executives and confirmed by the National Secretariat of the party. For the avoidance of doubt and in order to freshen their memories, persons such as Mansur Khalifa, including Aminu Jaji, were suspended from the party on March 17, 2024.”
According to Mr Idris, they were suspended over their alleged disrespect to the party and other forms of misconduct.
He said that the state APC leadership had observed the Mr Jaji support group’s constant alleged romance with the opposition Peoples Democratic Party and the Social Democratic Party, saying,” they are inching towards their possible defection from the APC.
“On the Ramadan packages distributed by our leaders, the party’s communiqué appreciated the individuals mentioned who supported the members of the party. The party remains fully grateful to them; we urge them to continue to do more for the benefit of our members and the entire people of the state.
Our leaders, including former governor, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, and the Minister of State, Defence, Bello Matawalle, had supported thousands of beneficiaries from the nooks and crannies of the state with cash, grains and clothing materials.”

Matawalle’s Leadership
Mr Idris stated that Mr Matawalle remained the APC leader in Zamfara State, adding, “They have failed to understand what we have been telling them because of their envy for Matawalle.
“The APC has a constitution that guides its politicking which whether they like it or not, he is the leader of Zamfara APC.
The constitution of our great party has clearly spelt out that if there is a sitting governor in a state who is a member of APC, he is the leader. If there is no minister from the state, a past governor is the leader. So, Matawalle, both as the immediate past governor and the current minister from Zamfara, is the APC leader.
Challenging Matawalle is misconduct and disrespect to the party’s constitutional guideline.”

TIB Movement Demands Justice Over Former APC Women Leader Jamima Dutse Murdered at Her Bauchi Residence
TIB Movement Demands Justice Over Former APC Women Leader Jamima Dutse Murdered at Her Bauchi Residence
The Take-It-Back (TIB) Movement, Bauchi State Chapter, has condemned the murder of Mrs. Jamima J. Dutse, a former Zonal Women Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bauchi South, and called on security agencies to immediately investigate the killing.

Dutse was reportedly attacked and killed by unknown assailants at her residence in Bauchi. In a statement dated October 4, 2026, signed by its Bauchi State Coordinator, Nazif Bashi, the TIB Movement expressed shock and outrage over the killing and commiserated with Dutse’s family, friends and associates.
The group described the killing as a “senseless act of violence” and said it raised concerns about the safety of residents in the state. “A society where citizens regardless of their political affiliations, gender, or status, cannot feel safe in their own homes is one on the brink of breakdown,” the group said.
It said the attack was not only against Dutse and her family but also against the peace, security and democratic fabric of Bauchi State.
The TIB Movement called on the Bauchi State Police Command, the Department of State Services (DSS) and other relevant security agencies to intensify efforts to identify and arrest those responsible for the killing.
It demanded the immediate constitution of what it described as a “dedicated, high-powered investigative panel” to investigate the murder.
The group also urged the security agencies to maintain transparent communication with Dutse’s family and the public by providing timelines and periodic updates on the progress of the investigation.

“Justice must not only be done; it must be seen to be done,” the statement said. “Those responsible for this murder must be brought to book and face the full wrath of the law to serve as a stern deterrent to criminal elements across the state.”
The group further called on the Bauchi State Government and security authorities to strengthen local security measures, surveillance and intelligence gathering across Bauchi metropolis and neighbouring local government areas.
The TIB Movement said such measures were necessary to address what it described as a rising tide of violent attacks in the state.
It also appealed to civil society organisations, trade unions, human rights defenders and residents of Bauchi State to demand accountability until those responsible for Dutse’s death are arrested and prosecuted. “The Take-It-Back Movement reaffirms its commitment to advocating for the rights, safety, and justice of all citizens,” it said.
“Silence in the face of tyranny and insecurity is complicity.”
