President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would award all party members who contributed to his victory in the most recent presidential election, according to senator Kabiru Marafa, a senior member of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking on Tuesday night in Abuja during a gathering with representatives of the APC Presidential Campaign Council’s Zamfara chapter.
Marafa emphasized that individuals who did not work for the party and Tinubu would not be rewarded and that party members should expect a change in the government’s award system.
Why We Are Backing Tinubu For President — Marafa
The former senator for Zamfara Central went on to claim that Tinubu had requested him to thank the people of Zamfara for supporting him in the election and helping him win, stressing that the President had the state’s best interests in mind.
He said: “When the issues of the inauguration came up, I had reasons to complain. And I said we were appointed to pioneer these campaign activities in our various states – and it is time for inauguration and he didn’t extend any invitation to us?
“Mr President said ‘Marafa, call them, thank them for me, let us hit the ground running and do what we are supposed to do’.
“Mr President said he is still on his promise to change the reward system of the government and I’m sure he is going to do it. Mr President appreciates what Zamfara did [during elections].
Top APC Leader, Marafa Reacts On Rumours of Joining PDP
“I was sleeping in my village house when someone came and woke me up, he said ‘you are here sleeping when Mr President is mentioning your name in Abuja’. I told that person that this is one of the reasons we requested you to vote for this man because this man is full of gratitude.
“I was not even before him but he remembered that the people of Zamfara contributed to his success. So I want to assure you the president has Zamfara in his mind, he is the president of the country, not Zamfara alone.”
Senator Marafa continued by claiming that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) defeated the APC in Zamfara as a result of some “hypocrites” working against it.
