The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Zamfara State has stated that Senator Kabiru Marafa is not a member of the party
as according to him, he has been on suspension since 2019.
“We are calling on the National caretaker committee of the party to ratify his suspension.
“Therefore, members of the public should not regard him as a member of the APC.
“We don’t consider Marafa as our member because he is used by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to disrupt peace and stability in the party.
The State APC Chairman, Alhaji Lawal Liman stated this while reacting to the recent comments credited to Senator Marafa on the National Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) of the party which suggested that Governor Buni and his team were implementing a hidden agenda of tenure elongation.
Liman said that “As far as we are concerned in the APC in Zamfara, Senator Marafa remains suspended because, since 2019 we suspended him in accordance with the party’s constitution and our decision have been forward to the APC National Headquarters, Abuja”.
“Disobeying the party’s National Executive Council (NEC) is enough reason to know that Marafa is not wishing the APC well”, Liman said.
He described the recent comments by Senator Marafa attacking the national leadership of the party as uncalled for.
“We are calling on the National caretaker committee to take appropriate action against him, therefore he should be treated as the opposition.
“We condemn the statement, we distance our self from any call against National leadership of the party”, Liman stated.
He praised the National Leadership of the party saying “we commend the Mai Mala Buni’s committee for repositioning the party”.
