Senator Marafa further stated the 2027 presidential election would determine the featherweights in Nigeria’s politics.
The former chieftain of APC made his stance known during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Monday, September 1, 2025.
Marafa added that top politicians in Zamfara state are uniting against the APC because of the widespread discontent with the ruling party.
“Now, whether Mr President would win or not is a question of seeing, but I want to assure you of something today. I am going to deduct one million votes out of Mr President’s votes that he got in 2023. Mark my words. 2027 is going to determine who is a featherweight.
“Now, whether somebody said that I’m paperweight, I’m a lightweight; whatever I am, 2027 is going to determine who is a paperweight.”
Marafa accuses Tinubu of “use-and-dump”
The former Zamfara Central Senator, Marafa, accused President Tinubu of adopting a “use-and-dump” style of politics.
Marafa alleged that Tinubu failed to fulfil his campaign promise of reforming the APC’s internal reward system.
“People were not happy with the tail end of Buhari’s government. He promised that he was going to eradicate the concept of monkey dey work, baboon dey chop. Only for him to entrench it, institutionalise it, and it became the state policy of the APC.”
