The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Zamfara State, Alhaji Sani Shinkafi, on Wednesday confirmed that he has ejected all displaced persons taking shelter in his houses in Shinkafi for voting the APC in Saturday\u2019s Presidential and National Assembly elections.
\nShinkafi made the confirmation in Gusau at a news conference organized by a coalition of some political parties in the state protesting against the elections.
\nAccording to NAN, he said \u201cI have asked all the IDPs residing in my Shinkafi houses to immediately pack out because they are not serious in life.
\n\u201cThese are people who had to leave their villages due to insecurity caused by a government that could not provide such basic necessity to them, yet they went and sold their votes at the last elections trying to bring back the same gang,\u201d he claimed.
\nAccording to NAN, he said in spite of earlier advice to the displaced persons \u201cto vote out those who failed them in the past years\u201d, they still did.
\nHe claimed that the Internally Displaced Persons allowed themselves to be bought over during the election by \u201cthe people who failed them.\u201d
\nShinkafi said the coalition would not support the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) and all security chiefs in the state to handle the March 9, governorship and state assembly elections.
\n\u201cThis is because we have no confidence in them and their ability to be fair and just to us,\u201d the APGA governorship candidate added.
\nThe News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the coalition is comprised of the PDP, APGA, ACCORD, NRM, APP, ADC, NPP, DPP and YPP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
