Senator Garba Kabiru Marafa representing Zamfara Central Senatorial zone has advised president Muhammadu Buhari to suspend his coming to Zamfara state for his presidential campaign.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

In a press release by his faction of the state APC, and signed by the senator which was made available to the DAILY POST, the coming of the president would amount to dignifying Governor Abdulaziz Yari.<\/p>\n

According to the press statement, the senator said that the political dust within the party has not settled, hence the president would be giving the Governor an upper hand.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

He noted that with or without any campaign in the state , the people of the state were very much ready to vote for the president whom he described as the Messiah that would bail the oil-rich country out of its present political predicament.<\/p>\n

Senator Marafa noted that he appreciated the ways and manner the president does not intervene in the political crisis ravaging the state chapter of the APC, saying that the action of the president has shown that he does not tolerate any nonsense irrespective of whose ox is gored.<\/p>\n

The senator noted that even if the president does not heed to his advice, his faction within the party would arrange another date for the campaign of the president.<\/p>\n
