Senator Kabiru Marafa, a former ally of President Bola Tinubu, has announced his intention to invalidate one million votes from Tinubu’s 2023 presidential election tally.
Marafa, who previously served as the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign coordinator in Zamfara State, expressed concerns over the sidelining of loyalists within the party following Tinubu’s rise to power.
Speaking publicly, Marafa stated, “Mark my words, I will remove one million votes from Tinubu’s votes.” He criticized the current administration for allegedly neglecting those who contributed to its electoral success.
In addition to questioning the integrity of the vote count, Marafa accused the APC of strategically placing “landmines” within opposition parties to disrupt their operations. He described these actions as part of a broader plan to weaken rival political groups and consolidate the party’s influence.
Marafa’s statements underscore a growing discontent among some former supporters regarding the administration’s internal decisions and the perceived marginalization of key figures within the party.
