Sen. Marafa Gives Reason For Stopping Buhari From Coming To Zamfara

The Senator representing Zamfara Central Senatorial zone, Garba Kabiru Marafa, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to suspend his presidential campaign in Zamfara state.

In a press release by his faction of APC in the state and signed by the senator, the coming of Buhari will amount to dignifying Governor Abdulaziz Yari.

Recall that Naija News reported that the candidates of the All Progressives Congress were not listed in the INEC final election list for the state.

He claimed that the coming of the president to the state which has seen the party unsettled would give the Governor an upper hand.

Marafa stated that with or without any campaign in the state, the people of the state were very much ready to vote for the president whom he described as the Messiah that would bail the oil-rich country out of its present political predicament.

He stated that he appreciated the president for not intervening in the political crisis affecting the state chapter of APC.

He claimed that the action of the president has shown that he does not tolerate any nonsense irrespective of who it affects.

The senator noted that even if the president does not heed to his advice, his faction within the party would arrange another date for the campaign of the president.

“I want to make it clear to the whole world that the so-called Governor cannot stay in his bedroom and decides the fate of over four million Zamfara citizens singlehandedly.”

Senator Marafa warned his teeming supporters to avoid any gathering of the Governor, stressing that he is just a political joker whom he said was only hiding under the influence of president Muhammadu Buhari to cover his democratic shame.

Senator Marafa said that the visit to Zamfara state was not necessary until the party settles the persistent problems that are ravaging it in the state.

He said that Abdulaziz Yari was just fronting for his Commissioner of Finance so as to cover up his numerous administrative sins and to impose himself as the political leader of the state.

The Senator claimed that he is waiting to see who the president would hand over the flag of the party to on Sunday.

He noted that President Buhari would not make such expensive mistake to hand over the party flag to Muktar Shehu Idris since the case he said was still in the court.

Marafa stated that he will not defect to any other party until the case would be finally decided by the court of competent jurisdiction.

He noted that the Governor has paralysed the civil service in the state, noting that nobody in the state, not even the grassroots want to hear anything about the Governor.
