Former Zamfara senator, Kabiru Garba Marafa and his supporters on Friday announced their resignation from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC
Marafa, who represented Zamfara Central in the 7th and 8th National Assembly, hinged his decision to quit the ruling party on alleged betrayed of personal trust and abandonment of Zamfara State by President Bola Tinubu after the 2023 presidential election
Marafa and his supporters took the decision to quit the APC at a two-day consultative meeting held on August 27th and 28th, 2025, in Kaduna, according to a communique issued at the end of the meeting signed jointly signed by leaders of Senator Kabiru Marafa Consultative Forum representing all the 14 local government areas of Zamfara State.
According to the communiqué, leaders of Marafa’s political structure across the 147 wards in Zamfara unanimously resolved to resign from the APC in protest against “sustained injustice, mistrust, marginalisation and deliberate neglect of Zamfara State and its people”.
Marafa recalled that while Zamfara was one of only two states in the North-west that gave Tinubu a victory during the 2023 elections, the state has been sidelined in terms of political appointments, infrastructural development and federal presence.
Part of the communique read: “Despite this pivotal contribution, the Marafa-led structure in Zamfara was sidelined in all areas. Political appointments, infrastructural development and federal presence.
“While Lagos State, where Tinubu lost, received overwhelming patronage and multiple ministerial slots, Zamfara was handed only a Minister of State portfolio, with no meaningful developmental attention or federal engagement,” it added.Live cattle supply
