Zamfara Senatorial Aspirant Garacci Vows Legal Action Over Alleged Disqualification by APC






By Aminu Abubakar Mayanchi Gusau 

All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial aspirant for Zamfara Central, Hon. Sanusi Ibrahim Garacci, has said he remains in the race for the 2027 election and will pursue legal action to protect his rights after alleging he was wrongly disqualified by the party.

Garacci accused the APC National Headquarters of disqualifying him over non-payment of party dues, a claim he said was false. He maintained that he had paid all required dues and possessed documentation to prove it.

“I have every document for the payment of my party dues, but I observed that the committee, either from the state or national headquarters, has removed some of my critical documents just to blacklist me,” Garacci said.

The aspirant said the alleged removal of his documents was an attempt to sideline him from the contest ahead of the party’s primaries. He did not specify which committee or officials were responsible.

Garacci urged his supporters to remain calm, assuring them that all necessary steps were being taken to seek redress through legal channels.

The development comes weeks after APC stakeholders in Zamfara endorsed a consensus arrangement backing incumbent National Assembly members to seek re-election in 2027. Garacci had earlier rejected the arrangement, describing it as undemocratic and a sidelining of other aspirants.

The APC is yet to respond publicly to Garacci’s allegations. The party’s national leadership is expected to review and ratify candidate lists submitted by state chapters ahead of the primaries.
