| Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa, Bola Tinubu |
Bola Tinubu, the party's candidate for the presidency in 2023, has been promised victory in the state by Kabiru Garba Marafa, the APC's presidential campaign coordinator for Zamfara.
At the start of the Tinubu/Shettima campaign, Mr Marafa declared that the people of the state would support the party in the upcoming election if it were God's will.
Bello Matawalle, the state governor and campaign council coordinator for the North West was admonished by him to put her full effort into the geopolitical zone's other six states.
Mr Marafa asserted, "There is no opposition in Zamfara State," comparing the opposition to an army without a commander. Can one wage war without a leader? No… Consequently, the Zamfara War has been won.
Regarding the governorship election in Zamfara, Mr Marafa said there was no vacancy for the opposition. He urged Mr Matawalle to allow the PDP gubernatorial candidate, Dauda Lawal, to return to the APC, having realised that the state house was occupied.
“A brother of mine told me that a leadership position is like a seat in a barbing saloon. When a customer finishes his haircut, another will sit on the same seat to also have his haircut,” Mr Marafa illustrated.
He, however, challenged the PDP candidate for Zamfara Central Senatorial district to an interactive debate, saying “Let every one of us tell what we have done for our people.”
