Senator Kabiru Marafa has emerged as the governorship candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Zamfara, pledging to tackle corruption and restore good governance in the state.
Marafa, who served as the Zamfara State campaign coordinator for Tinubu/Shettima during the 2023 general elections, emerged through consensus as the sole aspirant for the party’s governorship ticket.
The chairman of the party’s election committee, Aminu Jelani, announced his emergence during a gathering held in Gusau, the Zamfara State capital.
Speaking shortly after his emergence, Marafa expressed appreciation to members of the party for the confidence reposed in him.
He described corruption as the major factor responsible for the challenges facing Zamfara State and assured supporters that his administration would prioritise transparency, accountability, and prudent management of public resources if elected governor.
The former lawmaker also pledged to improve security, strengthen governance, promote the welfare of the people, and ensure equitable distribution of wealth without segregation across the state.
The party also announced candidates for all 34 electable positions across the state.
