Tinubu’s Campaign Coordinator Dumps APC Joins ADC In Zamfara
- Accuses President Of Creating Confusion In Nigeria’s Democratic Setting
Former senator and coordinator of the Tinubu/Shettima 2023 Campaign in Zamfara State, Kabiru Marafa, on Thursday, dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the African Democratic Party (ADC).
Marafa, who was also a former commissioner in the state, while announcing his decamping, accused President Tinubu of desperately trying to create confusion in Nigeria’s democratic setting.
The decision to leave APC “followed a strategic stakeholders’ meeting held in Kaduna State, where Senator Marafa consulted extensively with his political allies and supporters.
“After careful deliberations and consideration of the future direction of the political movement, Senator Marafa formally declared his decision to align with the African Democratic Congress,” his new media aide, Mansur Haruna, said in a statement.
During the meeting, Marafa accused the ruling APC of “political manipulations” including alleged attempts to exploit the National Identification Number (NIN) database for partisan political registration.
“Speaking on the current national political climate, Senator Marafa criticised what he described as attempts by the ruling administration under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to create confusion and instability within opposition political parties.
“He maintained, however, that no amount of political pressure or crisis would deter his movement from joining the ADC, stressing that the decision represents a firm commitment to liberate the people from what he termed ‘political bondage’,” the statement added.
