Resumen del corpus

Dr. Sani Abdullahi Shinkafi, an APC party chieftain and aspirant in Zamfara North Senatorial District, has requested the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to withdraw the name of Senator Sahabi Alhaji Ya’u as the party's candidate. Shinkafi accused INEC of ignoring court judgments that nullified the APC primary, insisting the commission respect the rulings and allow a new primary. He alleged that unnamed forces were obstructing the APC's candidacy, warning the dispute could jeopardize the party's participation in the 2027 general elections.
