Marafa’s APC Faction Condemns Attack On Zamfara PDP Congress Venue

The Senator Kabiru Marafa-led faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara deplored Monday’s attack on the venue of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) state congress calling for a probe into the act.

The Chairman of the Marafa-led faction, Hon Siajo Garba Maradun stated this in a statement signed by its spokesperson, Bello Bakyasuwa Maradun, where he revealed he received the news of the attack on the PDP congress venue with shock.

Stating that the accusation levelled at some Zamfara state government officials for being responsible for the attack was very worrisome

The statement reads, “We are more worried that official statements attributed to the spokesperson to the Deputy Governor of Zamfara State who is one of the leading figures of PDP in the state associated the action with the ruling APC in the state.

“Although the statement pointed the accusing finger at thugs mobilized by Governor Bello Matawalle’s camp of APC, we are using this medium to disassociate and distance the Senator Marafa-led faction of APC from this undemocratic act against opposition groups”, he stated.

“Senator Marafa an advocate of the rule of law and the principle of ‘live and let live’ from the testimonies of his uncountable public engagements as a Senator of the Republic of Nigeria and the leading figure of APC in Zamfara State”.

“On this note, the leadership of Senator Marafa faction of APC condemns in totality the reported action against opposition PDP in the state and consider the action as barbaric, savage, desperate and primitive. We also call on the leadership of the police at State, Zonal and National levels to thoroughly investigate the matter and make the perpetrators and their sponsors face appropriate wrath of the law.

“We equally call on the police to use this incidence as a red flag and be on alert to avoid the occurrence of such cowardly act of desperate politicians without fear or favour.

“As democrats, we commend the conduct of the opposition PDP on the maturity exhibited in the face of violence and managing the situation. We also congratulate them on holding the congresses and emerging with the new party leadership in the state.

“Notwithstanding, we hope that the new leadership of PDP in the state will in due course understand the progressive ideals of APC especially the commitment of Senator Marafa of building bridges beyond party affiliations to rescue Zamfara State from the grip of insecurity”.
