The Senator representing Zamfara Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Senator Kabir Marafa, has said he does not care if his party, the APC failed to produce a governor in the forthcoming elections in his state.
According to him, some senators and former governors were being used by the Zamfara State government to escalate the crisis rocking the APC in the northwestern state.
The lawmamer stated this at a news conference in Abuja on Tuesday.
He said President Muhammadu Buhari was not concerned about APC not having a governor in Zamfara in the forthcoming polls.
He said, “There is a limit to loyalty. My loyalty first and foremost is to the Federal Republic of Nigeria, because we must have Nigeria before we can have the Senate,” he said.
He threatened to approach the Appeal Court if INEC which claimed to be studying the two judgments, decided to allow the APC field candidates for the election.
“So, my loyalty is first to my God and to my people. APC is not a religion. So, if APC decides that the worst APC candidate is better than the best other candidates from anywhere, I will respect them because they are in politics to field candidates to win elections.
“But that cannot be true to me. So, I would go for the best for my people.
“So, even if it means that APC loses in Zamfara State, I don’t give a damn. After all, the crisis that we are in today started with the APC itself.”
