The Chairman of the Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Tukur Danfulani, said former senator, Kabiru Marafa’s recent attacks on President Bola Tinubu was due to his inability to secure an appointment under the current administration.
Danfulani also said Marafa’s attacks on Tinubu are due to the frustration of losing an election.
In a statement he issued, the Zamfara APC chairman accused the former senator of selfishness.
He said Marafa would bury himself in shame if he ever returns to Zamfara State to test his popularity.
Danfulani said: “We, therefore, call on Marafa to come to Zamfara and reassess his popularity among the electorate. I believe he will bury himself in shame.
“Marafa’s unguarded utterances are just out of frustration of losing election and his inability to secure appointments in President Bola Tinubu administration.
“Ordinarily, if not because Marafa touched Mr President in his uncivilised manner, we would not have responded to a lower and rejected politician like him.”
Danfulani also rubbished Marafa’s claim that he would reduce Tinubu’s votes in 2027 by one million.
“I would like to address that by telling the Nigerian public that, apart from being disgraced from the Senate by his constituents in 2019, he has not recovered from his dementia.
“Even in the 2023 polls, where he made uncorroborated calls on the 2023 elections, it should be noted that Marafa could not even win his constituency in the same elections.
“Talk less of securing the votes which largely came through the faith the electorate have in the party and in Matawalle, Yari and other respected party leaders in the state,” he added
