Tinubu, INEC and APC instigated leadership crisis in ADC to slow down the momentum of the party but they seem to have ignited a fire instead.

Former senator and coordinator of the Tinubu/Shettima 2023 Campaign in Zamfara State, Kabiru Marafa, has ditched the All Progressive Congress (APC) for the African Democratic Party (ADC) on Thursday.

Mr Marafa, who was also a former commissioner in the state, is a known supporter of President Bola Tinubu in the Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara axis.

While announcing his decamping, Mr Marafa accused President Tinubu of desperately trying to create confusion in Nigeria’s democratic setting.

The decision to leave APC “followed a strategic stakeholders’ meeting held in Kaduna State, where Senator Marafa consulted extensively with his political allies and supporters.

After careful deliberations and consideration of the future direction of the political movement, Senator Marafa formally declared his decision to align with the African Democratic Congress,” his new media aide, Mansur Haruna, said in a statement.

During the meeting, Mr Marafa accused the ruling APC of “political manipulations” including alleged attempts to exploit the National Identification Number (NIN) database for partisan political registration.

“Speaking on the current national political climate, Senator Marafa criticised what he described as attempts by the ruling administration under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to create confusion and instability within opposition political parties.

“He maintained, however, that no amount of political pressure or crisis would deter his movement from joining the ADC, stressing that the decision represents a firm commitment to liberate the people from what he termed ‘political bondage’,” the statement added.

Mr Marafa sought APC governorship ticket in 2019 but was not supported by then governor, Abdulaziz Yari. Mr Marafa led top politicians to challenge Mr Yari, which led to the creation of two factions for the party.

He dragged the APC to court to challenge the outcome of the party’s primary elections. The case culminated at the Supreme Court which ruled, after the polls had been conducted, that the primaries were not conducted accordingly, and therefore gave all the seats won by the APC to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

Mr Marafa briefly reconciled with Mr Yari in 2021 before parting ways with him again after the party lost the state to PDP again in 2023

He has been having running battles with both Mr Yari and minster of state for defence, Bello Matawalle, in the quest for control of the APC in the state.

These politicians are just after their SELF interest... Most of them.

Tilumbu's quest to be a dictator united the opposition. How the tables turn

The cocaine drooling orangutan is feeling the heat

On ya mandate nairaland supporter still think say na shele bobo 😁

Next time when a tribe gets a president seat

Their people should think with their head and not their buttocks

One man is president and a tribe feel it's a thing to belittle others with.

Lessons have been learnt 😁😁😁😁

How can I defend Tulumbu now, what’s really happening to our pay master and our party, robots in the house ?

Yarimo, Putindbutt, seunmsg, Helinues, burob please let’s come together and look for help on the best sophisticated propaganda we can use to redeem our master and party

Citizens need to participate, for democracy to work effectively.

If you hire staff and trust them to do their jobs because they're professionals, and don't evaluate and monitor actual performance and take necessary disciplinary action, over time, your company will be a playground.

Democracy envisioned the possibility that the executive, legislative and judiciary could connive to work against the people, and there is provision to rise to action. It's a price to be paid because democracy won't sustain itself.

We let things get to this point. There's a reason Americans get into the streets when they think the system is trying to work against them. Without it, the system will actually work against them.

Man was very f00lish; very very f00lish.

They call him strategist but he’s actually very shallow.

He would have gained more if he left the political parties as they were than setting out to ruin them.

Add that to his audacity to outdo Buhari in nepotism, cronyism and tribalism.

And then you add that he damaged the economy and insecurity has metastasized with no solution in sight.

Let me see if the votes of Southwest and Southsouth will be enough to re-elect him.

Southsouth is not even sure for him.

He is a nonentity

How can you play tribal politics as governor and then bring it into national

Turning a whole tribe and making it look like other tribes are attacking your tribe

Bola is a lost animal and thank God founding fathers are beginning to wake up

Remove that useless cap let the dollar fall from your table no problem but at least have integrity, you can not be licking a drug lord buttocks and expect respect

Just look at what he has turned all the obas to 😁😁😁😁 Kai

The drug lord will get the shock of his life next year

Lol!

Those ones are still lying to themselves and putting their hope in an illiterate Nafiu Gombe.

One thing I’ve noticed about them is their propensity to never accept reality but defend rubbish.

Insecurity is everywhere and they are rationalizing it.

People are dying of hunger and they are defending it.

Diesel just crossed 2,000 per litre and they are defending it.

Fuel is about to hit 1,500 and they are defending it.

Why? Because Tinubu is Yoruba.

Very pathetic!

Hehehe! Seems the real decamping is happening after the 32 governors have been pouched by the NADECO tyrant and his people.

Is there something these Northerners are not telling us about ADC?


Since Tinupoo and his dipso henchman think they've infested and muddled the ADC as an opposition, their Northern folks who they thought will run from the party are now moving in in hordes without waiting for the implosion of the evul party APC.

Lol una go come online to talk trash yet una life no get meaning for real life. You all will talk as if you know it all but in your career, it won’t show that you know what you are doing. That’s if you have one.

Calling someone who has used his “foolishness” to achieve the dream of the street protesters “foolish” is funny. To one or two that decamp to ADC U lots will dress it as if the whole state has moved to the dead party!!!

ADC is been having issues f on more than 8 years. They have always been in and out of the court over leadership crisis. The man that founded it used it for business and he had overspent his time as the chair thus he was hedged out. But he went ahead to carry the Atikus and Obis goal goal.

One thing that I know is that if Tinubu doesn’t wish to make Nigeria great, these paraders are worst.

Lastly and most importantly, ADC will not fly. They should look for another SPV of a party to assemble their frustrated selves.

Are you wailing or crying? It's too early. ADC will grow to a point where TInubu and APC will be terrible scared and insignificant.

lol. Marafa left APC since last year. He went on TV and ranted about Tinubu not giving him any appointment and was ignored. You can’t have Dauda Lawal, Abdulaziz Yari and Matawalle on your side and be taking the empty threats of One dude that was a senator some 10 years ago seriously.

U way to cry for another four years. No be the cry I don dey cry for over 2 years here!!!! We will be here to remind u.

Your fellow that price of Lagos don disappear. U too will fade away with breeze. It’s a matter of small time. Mark it anywhere in your calendar that u will still cry for 5 more years

All the best to him

The narration of one party state will be quickly forgotten with this defection. So as how confused the opposition supporters are

Northerners seems to fully align with ADC.

Tinubu will be forced to release Nnamdi Kanu to bribe Igbos.

Bcus like this ,BIG FAILURE awaits him.

Did you just typed Southsouth?

Who flipping knows the idiotic president from Southsouth?

That strategic failure will be stoned in the Southsouth!

Wrong move..ADC is dead on arrival

The cigarette smoking chimney have shown the world that without tribalism he is nothing even his drug money can't save him. 😁😁

ADC is dead
ADC is finished
ADC is fractioned

Yet heavy weight continues to join the party.

He forgot he's at the national level and not regional where tribalism would have worked in his favour. I pray himself and the greedy judiciary do not destroy what is left of our democracy.

Everyone joining this structure of criminality is either a Former this or an Ex that.

The Governor of his state is now In APC. This one knows he has lost out totally, he is dispensable.

It is not all Yorubas that are in support of Tinubu.Don't be hasty in generalizing because of few bad eggs

They are looking for their next meal. Vicious cross carpeters. Stomach infrastructure is their calling.

He's been wanting to be Gov and since the Gov is now APC, marafa would have to seek his ambition somewhere else.

this is his opportunity to become a governor of zamfara. He is a big name too but the alignment of the current governor and minister of state for defense who is also from zamfara will be difficult for him to handle.except this guy(the current CEO of geregu power who is also from zamfara and a politician ) join the ADC which I don't see happening
