Tinubu Zamfara Campaign Coordinator Dumps APC
Former Zamfara Central Senator Kabiru Marafa has confirmed his resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC), bringing an end to months of speculation over his political future.
Marafa, who served as the Tinubu/Shettima 2023 Presidential Campaign Coordinator in Zamfara, disclosed his exit in a text message to Channels Television on Sunday. However, he did not personally state his reasons for leaving the party.
His confirmation, however, followed a meeting of his political structure last week, where leaders unanimously resolved to dump the APC over what they described as injustice, neglect, and worsening insecurity in Zamfara State.
In a communiqué signed by Comrade Bashir Muhammad Mafara and Dr Mannir Bature Tsafe, the group expressed grave concern over the state’s deteriorating security, citing statistics ranking Zamfara as the worst hit by kidnapping nationwide.
They accused the Federal Government of politicising insecurity during the Kaura Namoda bye-election, alleging that security forces were deployed to secure an APC victory rather than protect citizens.
On political appointments, the group decried what it called the deliberate marginalisation of Zamfara, pointing out that while other North-West states secured multiple ministerial slots, Zamfara got only one.
They also lamented the lack of federal intervention for communities devastated by bandit attacks.
The statement added that the group would soon announce its next political direction “in line with the aspirations of Zamfara people”.
