Major boost for APC as powerful Northern state dumps Atiku for Tinubu

The presidential bid for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) has received yet another boost following a major affirmation of victory from Senator Kabiru Marafa of Zamfara state.

The APC chieftain who leads the Tinubu presidential campaign in the state revealed that Tinubu would be voted massively by citizens at the presidential polls to protect his votes.

Senator Marafa made this on Sunday, November 20, at the state capital Gusau during an interactive session with news following the conclusion of two-consultative meetings with relevant stakeholders in the state.

As reported by The Nation newspaper, Senator Marafa said a series of interfaces had been held between himself and some major groups within the state to foster the presidential bid of Tinubu.

He said: “We held meetings and sensitised different groups and organisations, including traditional and religious leaders in the state.

“We also met with students, community-based organisations, farmers associations, and several other groups to sensitise them to vote for Bola Tinubu as the next president of the country.”

The former lawmaker stated that the essence of the consultative meetings was geared towards democratic reasons as well as for good democracy.
