Pandemonium broke out yesterday evening as All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters of governor Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara and senator Kabir Garba Marafa clashed just few hours before the deadline given by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Governor Yari had urged all party faithfuls in the state to conduct the primaries by themselves to beat INEC deadline of 12 midnight to submit the names of its candidates in the primary elections conducted in Zamfara state.
The National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress (NWC) had cancelled the Governorship primary of Zamfara state over violence that trailed the exercise.
In a trending video, the supporters were seen throwing punches and chairs as they engaged in a free-for-all fight. Watch the video below.
Meanwhile, the chairman of the Senate Committee on Petroleum (Downstream), Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa, met with President Muhammadu Buhari, saying they will retire Governor Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara state.
Marafa condemned the violence that trailed the governorship primary in Zamfara state.
