Dr. Sani Abdullah Shinkafi , leader of the All Progressives Grand Alliance ( APGA ) in Zamfara State has accused APC leaders in the State of offering 56 million naira to bandits to refuse the release of Jangebe abducted girls .
He said that their aim was to sabotage the peace effort of Governor Bello Mohammed Matawalle .
Shinkafi , who was the 2019 governorship candidate of APGA in Zamfara State, made the allegation during a press briefing .
“ I , therefore , challenge politicians from both the ruling and opposition parties to subject their telephone numbers to security checks since I am confident that the story that will come out of that process would be shocking, ” he said.
According to him , the security checks on the personal telephones of the selected politicians should be from 25 th of February to the time when the girls were released .
Continuing, Shinkafi said that some APC members in Zamfara State were desperate to ensure that Matawalle failed in his commitment to transform the state , pointing out that security operatives needed to be active in curtailing the insecurity situation affecting the country .
He urged the youth not to allow themselves to be used as stooges for burning down Nigeria by some desperate and selfish politicians , advising them to focus more on building the nation .
Shinkafi also called on the government to come up with an initiative that will help in empowering the youth by creating job opportunities for them .
