The Coordinator of the Tinubu/ Shetima Presidential Campaign Council in Zamfara, Kabiru Marafa confirmed the incident on Thursday.

Marafa told pressmen after inspecting the affected campaign offices, that the party can not quantify the monetary value of the level of damage to the various facilities.

The APC chieftain who condemned the attack said “The hoodlums vandalised the party’s buildings — broke the ceiling, tiles, roofing sheets, vehicles, generators and chairs, television, and table among others.

“After the election of 18th of March and the results declared, PDP was declared the winner. By morning, we got calls that our offices have been vandalized and in the last two hours I have been going around to check the damages.”

Marafa however called on political leaders to call their supporters to order to prevent the recurrence of this situation in the future.
