2027: Senator leads supporters to ADC in Zamfara State

Former Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa has led his supporters to the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ahead of the 2027 general election in Zamfara State. 

The decision to move was reached after a closed door caucus meeting of the senator’s Political Movement, which was held in Kaduna State.

According to a statement issued by the Secretary of the Kabiru Garba Marafa Political Movement, Aminu A. Jelani, the decision followed “extensive consultations and review of prevailing political realities.

“The caucus unanimously resolved to formally adopt the ADC as the political platform of the Marafa political movement.”

Jelani added that the resolution was ratified through a vote by members present at the meeting.

He disclosed that members of the movement across Zamfara State’s 14 local government areas and beyond have been directed to immediately commence registration with the party, alongside intensified grassroots mobilisation.

He said: “Consequently, all members, supporters, coordinators, and stakeholders… are hereby directed to immediately commence registration with the ADC and intensify grassroots mobilisation efforts in all wards, local governments, and senatorial districts.”

The statement also revealed that the decision followed a formal invitation by the ADC leadership to Marafa and his supporters, with former Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Dikko Abubakar, said to have played a role in facilitating engagements between both sides.

The group pledged to work with the ADC “in good faith, sincerity, and openness”, while urging the party leadership to ensure inclusiveness and cooperation.

The statement added: “The Marafa Support Groups remain resolute in their commitment to the promotion of good governance, justice, accountability, and people oriented leadership.”

The caucus also commended members for their loyalty and resilience, noting that the movement was entering “a new phase of strategic political engagement”.
