A former chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara State, Senator Kabir Garba Marafa, has said he dumped the party for the Peoples Democratic Party due to ill-treatment of himself and his teeming supporters.
Marafa, who served as the senator representing Zamfara Central between 2011 and 2019, had dumped the ruling party alongside former governor of the state, Abdulaziz Yari, and their loyalists.
The 61-year-old said APC was not a home to him as he was treated as an outcast, adding that some people members were bent on frustrating him out of the party.
He stated, “Politics is about winning elections and everything, so we cannot stay in a house that we are not needed,” Marafa said.
“As far as I am concerned, I am a fulfilled person as far as this project APC is called. If there is anything left, I am waiting to see how the architect of this cruelty meted out to the people of Zamfara State, how they are going to fare in politics.

“APC is not Islam, it is my religion that I can not leave for whatever reason, but a political party, I can leave and join anyone of my choice.”
According to him, the new National Chairman of the party, Senator Abdulahi Adamu, would not do anything different from what the former Caretaker Chairman, Mai Mala Buni, did.
