Zamfara APC Crisis Not Resolved-Senator Marafa

 

A factional leader at the center of APC Zamfara crisis Senator Kabiru Marafa has accused the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) of lying over the lingering crisis rocking the Zamfara state chapter of the party.

The Senator who represented Zamfara central in the Senate noted that the Yobe State governor did not get it right by saying that the Zamfara APC crisis has been resolved. He said that it was not yet Uhuru with regard to the party and its political quagmire in Zamfara State. He has however  warned the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led caretaker committee of the APC not to destroy the party.

The Committee had at the end of its meeting on Tuesday, claimed that the crises in the Bauchi, Bayelsa, Cross River, Edo, Ekiti, Enugu, Zamfara, Ondo, and Oyo State chapters of the party, have been resolved.

But when contacted, Marafa, a governorship aspirant of the party in 2019 election, said that the committee has not done anything since its inception to resolve the crisis in its Zamfara State chapter.

 Marafa said the two factions of the party in Zamfara State are still existing and operating parallel secretariats in Gusau, the state capital and across the 14 local government areas of the state, said; “this ungodly claim by the committee would only worsen the crisis of the party in the state”.

Marafa also reiterated the commitment of his camp to fight for its rights and the rights of average Zamfara APC members, said, “With this statement, the committee has deflated the trust and confidence reposed in it, by misleading the public with the claim that it has resolved the crises in the states mentioned. The committee has lost its integrity and its members should therefore resign or be sacked.

 “This is nothing but a wicked lie. I pray that the committee is not on a mission to destroy the party completely. “They have not done anything and have not contacted anybody; either by phone or letter, formally or informally.  They are behaving as if Zamfara State does not exist and therefore doesn’t matter.”
