The National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has approved the cancellation the Zamfara State governorship primary election for alleged violence.

The Prof. Abubakar Faki-led Zamfara State Governorship Primary Committee announced a cancellation of the primary, and accused government officials of snatching election materials and result sheets, which they allegedly took to the Government House in Gusau.

A statement by APC’s Acting National Publicity Secretary Yekini Nabena said the NWC will announce a new date for the primary, noting that the party leadership was committed to free, fair and transparent primaries across the country.

The senatorial primaries for Niger State will hold today, a statement by Nabena said.

The statement added that Senators David Umar; A.S Abdullahi and Mustapha Sani Mohammed have been cleared by the National Working Committee (NWC) to contest the primaries.
