‘We’ll Cut No Less Than One Million Votes from Tinubu’ – Marafa on 2027

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will lose more than a million votes in the 2027 presidential election as a result of former Zamfara Central senator Kabiru Garba Marafa’s defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The assertion was reportedly made in a statement released in Gusau on Friday by Surajo Garba Maikatako, the political leader of the Senator Marafa Support Group and chairman of the Supreme Council of the Senator Marafa Group.

His political base has already been revitalized by Marafa’s exit from the APC, he claims, with overwhelming support coming in from all around the nation.

Thousands of supporters have contacted the former senator to show their support and willingness to accompany him on his next political venture, Maikatako said.

According to the statement, “I can state with confidence that Senator Marafa’s APC resignation has revitalized his political base.” Overwhelmingly, fans from all over the country have been calling to express their solidarity and willingness to further Senator Marafa’s political involvement.

We will subtract at least one million votes from the President’s total in the upcoming general election, according to Senator Marafa’s audacious and foretelling declaration, “by the special grace of Almighty Allah (SWT).” This claim is not without substance. A dedicated, orderly, and resolute political system supports this calculated strategy. We’ll be proven correct in time. Those who question this will soon come to regret undervaluing a people-oriented movement’s strength.

This spike in support is an obvious indication of his ongoing appeal, legitimacy, and the strong faith that people have in his ability to lead. Numerous well-known people have visited grassroots organizations and reiterated their commitment to the new political path that Senator Marafa represents.

Sen. Marafa’s decision to quit the APC was decided upon by his followers collectively rather than individually. Without the full support of his devoted followers, he would never take such a step as a leader who values democracy and consultation. He has listened to the voices of his admirers.

“Let it also be known that Senator Marafa left the APC because the President did not keep his campaign pledges, especially the one to eradicate insecurity in Zamfara State. Remember that Senator Marafa was instrumental in delivering Zamfara during the general elections of 2023 while serving as Mr. President’s State Campaign Coordinator. Sadly, the President did not act to show his devotion and allegiance in return.

In the history of Nigerian democracy, we are currently getting ready to begin one of the most significant presidential campaigns. The plans are being meticulously developed, and we are sure that our political movement will upend the status quo.

“The journey to reclaim our democracy and restore integrity to leadership has just begun, and we invite all well-meaning Nigerians to join us on this journey.”
