SENATOR KABIR GARBA MARAFA: THE GLAMOUR OF ZAMFARA POLITICS 2027

The attention of the people of Zamfara State, particularly those who understand the political realities of the state and genuinely yearn for good governance, accountability, security, and sustainable development, is increasingly focused on Sen Kabir Marafa CON, as a credible choice for Governor of Zamfara State come 2027.

The growing acceptance of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) across Zamfara is a reflection of the increasing desire among the people for political change and a new direction. It also demonstrates the influence and political relevance of Senator Kabir Garba Marafa, CON, whose antecedents and public service record speak for themselves. He is a well-known son of Zamfara, widely recognized for his courage, political experience, commitment to public service, and consistent engagement on issues affecting the people.

At a time when Zamfara State is facing serious challenges, particularly insecurity, economic hardship, unemployment, poverty, and inadequate human capital development, the people are looking for leadership capable of providing practical solutions and restoring hope. The devastating impact of insecurity has weakened economic activities, disrupted livelihoods, displaced communities, and placed enormous pressure on families across the state. These challenges have been compounded by concerns over the effectiveness and priorities of the incumbent administration.

Senator Kabir Garba Marafa, CON, has consistently advocated for improved security, the welfare of citizens, youth empowerment, and human capital development. His commitment to raising the aspirations and capacities of young people has attracted both support and opposition. Nevertheless, he has continued to speak on issues that directly affect the people, particularly at a time when many citizens feel increasingly excluded from the benefits of government.

Today, the people of Zamfara are yearning for change. They are asking for a government that will put their lives, welfare, security, education, employment, and economic opportunities at the centre of its policies. They are asking for leadership that will not merely make promises, but will deliver measurable results.

The dissatisfaction among many citizens is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Despite substantial financial resources available to the state through federal allocations, interventions, and other revenues, many communities continue to struggle with insecurity, unemployment, poverty, and a lack of meaningful opportunities for young people. The people deserve to know how public resources are being utilized and what tangible impact those resources are having on their lives.

The promise of a rescue government raised expectations among the people of Zamfara. However, many citizens now feel that the benefits of governance have not been sufficiently distributed across the state. A government should not be judged merely by the number of roads constructed or projects commissioned; it must also be judged by the quality of lives it improves, the opportunities it creates, the security it provides, and the future it builds for its young population.

Zamfara needs a government that prioritizes both infrastructure and human beings. Roads are important, but the lives travelling on those roads are even more important. Buildings and projects are necessary, but they cannot substitute for security, quality education, employment, healthcare, economic empowerment, and a government that listens to its citizens.

The growing call for change is therefore not simply about changing political parties or personalities. It is about changing the direction of governance in Zamfara State. It is about moving from politics of promises to politics of performance; from exclusion to inclusion; from uncertainty to hope; and from insecurity and economic hardship to a safer and more prosperous Zamfara.

This is why the candidacy of Senator Kabir Garba Marafa, CON, deserves serious consideration as Zamfara approaches 2027. His supporters believe that his experience, political courage, knowledge of the state, and commitment to youth development position him to provide the leadership required at this critical moment.

The people of Zamfara have waited long enough for meaningful change. Their aspirations cannot be ignored, and their desire for a better future cannot be silenced.

The time for a new direction is now.

Let us come together, regardless of our backgrounds, communities, or political differences, and work toward a Zamfara where security is guaranteed, young people have opportunities, public resources are responsibly managed, and government genuinely serves the people.

2027 is an opportunity for Zamfara to choose a new path.

Let us support Senator Kabir Garba Marafa, CON, for a safer, stronger, more prosperous, and more inclusive Zamfara State.

A TRIBUTE TO ALHAJI SURAJO GARBA MAIKATAKO: THE UNDISPUTED LEADER OF ZAMFARA POLITICS

In the political landscape of Zamfara State, few figures command the respect and admiration that Alhaji Surajo Garba Maikatako enjoys. As the Chairman of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Zamfara State, Maikatako has demonstrated the qualities of a true leader—vision, integrity, generosity, and an unshakable commitment to the people.

Maikatako is not just a party chairman; he is a statesman who has devoted his life to the service of Zamfara. His leadership style is defined by humility, accessibility, and a genuine desire to see his people prosper. He is a good politician in the best sense of the word—one who places the welfare of the electorate above personal gain.

In a historic move that has never been seen before in Zamfara's political history, Alhaji Surajo Garba Maikatako personally donated six vehicles to dedicated youth members of the NDC. This unprecedented act of generosity, made from his personal resources, demonstrates his commitment to strengthening the party and rewarding loyalty, hard work, and dedication. This remarkable gesture is not just about vehicles—it is a clear indication that under Maikatako's leadership, the NDC is a party that values its members. It is the first known instance in the State's political history where a State party chairman has personally purchased and donated six vehicles to party members in recognition of their commitment and service.

Based on extensive research and views from electorates across Zamfara State, it is clear that no other party chairman in Zamfara can match Alhaji Surajo Garba Maikatako. While other chairmen simply occupy positions, Maikatako leads with purpose. While others make empty promises, Maikatako delivers. While others sit back and wait, Maikatako mobilizes, empowers, and inspires. His counterpart chairmen in other political parties lack his experience, his vision, and his connection to the people. They do not have his track record of service. They do not have his capacity to inspire loyalty and commitment. In every measure of leadership, Maikatako stands head and shoulders above them all.

Countless people across Zamfara State have described Maikatako as a good leader, much like his principal officer, Senator Kabir Garba Marafa, the NDC governorship candidate. The two leaders share a common vision: a new Zamfara free from insecurity, corruption, and neglect. Senator Marafa, a former senator who represented Zamfara Central Senatorial District from 2011 to 2019, has a proven record of service. During his time in the Senate, he provided jobs for young people across the state, and now, he is expecting a payback from the people who remember his good deeds. His recent launch of a ₦50 million scholarship fund for indigent law students demonstrates his commitment to education and the future of Zamfara's youth.

Under Maikatako's chairmanship, the NDC has inaugurated a Contact and Mobilisation Committee comprising experienced professionals, administrators, politicians, media practitioners, and community leaders drawn from across the state. This is a party that is serious about winning—and Maikatako is the leader driving this effort.

Countless people from across Zamfara State are ready to vote for Senator Marafa in the coming election. The enthusiasm is palpable. The NDC has witnessed increased membership across the 14 local government areas of Zamfara State following Senator Marafa's defection to the party. By the time INEC releases the list of Zamfara governorship aspirants, Senator Marafa's supporters had already increased significantly. The people are rallying behind Marafa because they see in him a leader who has the capacity and capability to defeat the current governor of Zamfara State. Marafa is a shrewd politician with a proven track record. He understands the challenges facing Zamfara—insecurity, corruption, poverty, and neglect—and he has a clear vision for addressing them.

The incumbent governor has made it easy for Senator Marafa to take over Zamfara in 2027. The current administration has failed on every front. Security remains a nightmare, with bandits now planting Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) on public roads. Education has collapsed, with headmasters and vice principals abandoning their own schools. Teachers are poorly paid and demoralized. The economy is in shambles, with farmers unable to access their lands. The people continue to suffer, displaced from their homes and living in constant fear. The governor has received more federal allocation than any governor since the state was created, yet the people see no tangible results.

The NDC, under Maikatako's leadership, has been vocal in condemning these failures. The party recently warned against abandoning citizens amid the growing IED threat in Bukkuyum Local Government Area, declaring: "Enough of managing insecurity. Zamfara deserves security."

Under the leadership of Alhaji Surajo Garba Maikatako and Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa, the NDC has positioned itself as the party that truly stands for the people. Maikatako has reassured supporters that the party remains vibrant and fully operational, urging them to remain calm, united, and resolute. He declared: "This is a time for courage, not despair. This is a moment to hold fast to the hope we have found in the NDC. I urge you to remain calm, united, and resolute." The NDC is not just a political party—it is a movement for change. It is a vehicle for the hopes and aspirations of the people of Zamfara who have been let down by successive governments.

Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa is the only candidate with the capacity and capability to defeat the incumbent governor. He has a proven track record as a two-term senator with a history of service and delivery. He provided jobs for young people and demonstrated that he understands the needs of the people. He has a strong grassroots network across all 14 local government areas. The people know him, trust him, and are ready to support him. He has promised to provide accountable and responsible leadership, prioritize transparency, and improve the living standards of residents. His ₦50 million scholarship fund for indigent law students shows that he is serious about investing in the future of Zamfara's youth. Marafa is also a shrewd politician who has navigated the complexities of Nigerian politics with skill and integrity.

2027 is the turn of Senator Kabir Marafa, according to numerous electorates who brag to vote for Senator Marafa free of charge based on his sterling qualities that qualify him to become the next governor of Zamfara State. The people have seen the failure of the current administration. They have seen the suffering and neglect. They have seen the broken promises. They are now ready for a leader who will deliver—a leader like Senator Marafa.

Alhaji Surajo Garba Maikatako is the kind of leader Zamfara needs—a man of integrity, generosity, and vision. Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa is the kind of governor Zamfara deserves—a leader who will restore security, revive education, and bring hope back to our people. The incumbent governor has failed. The people are suffering. The time for change is now. Join the movement. Support the NDC. Vote for Senator Marafa in 2027.

Key Takeaways

Alhaji Surajo Garba Maikatako is the undisputed leader of Zamfara politics—no other chairman can match him. He is a good leader and politician with the qualities of party leadership and vast experience. He is like his principal officer, Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa—a leader with vision, integrity, and commitment to the people. Countless people are ready to vote for Senator Marafa in the coming election. Marafa is the only candidate with the capacity and capability to defeat the incumbent governor. The incumbent governor has made it easy for Senator Marafa to take over in 2027. 2027 is the turn of Senator Kabir Marafa, according to numerous electorates who brag to vote for him free of charge based on his sterling qualities that qualify him to become the next governor of Zamfara State.

This message is based on research and views from electorates across Zamfara State.

The people of Zamfara are ready for change. The people of Zamfara are ready for Marafa. The people of Zamfara will not be fooled again

*ZAMFARA’S BACKDOOR DEALS WITH BANDITS: PAMPERING THE GUNMAN, ABANDONING HIS VICTIMS*

OUR STAND

When victims are displaced, traumatised and struggling to survive, government must not appear more organised about rehabilitating their tormentors than rebuilding their lives.

For years, the people of Zamfara State have paid an unbearable price for banditry.

Lives have been lost. Families have been shattered. Women have been widowed. Children have been orphaned. Farmers have been driven from their lands. Entire communities have been displaced, livelihoods destroyed and countless citizens forced to live under the shadow of kidnapping, extortion and death.

Yet, while many victims are still waiting for meaningful rehabilitation, compensation and a safe return to their ancestral communities, the Zamfara State Government has constituted a Disarmament, Demobilisation and Reintegration (DDR), Peace and Security Committee for persons renouncing banditry. This demands serious scrutiny.

Only recently, the government loudly reaffirmed its position that it would not negotiate with bandits. Now, the same government is establishing structures for the disarmament, rehabilitation and reintegration of people who participated in the violence that devastated our dear state of Zamfara while hundreds of thousands of victims of the same banditry who are displaced across the state are left to their own fate.

The government may argue that surrender is not negotiation. But the people are entitled to ask:

What exactly is the policy?

Where is the line between unconditional surrender and engagement?

What benefits will surrendered bandits receive?

Who qualifies as “repentant”?

Who verifies their repentance?

What happens to those implicated in murder, kidnapping, r**e, cattle rustling, destruction of communities and other serious crimes?

Will justice be sacrificed in the name of reconciliation?

And, most importantly: WHAT ABOUT THE VICTIMS?

This is where the moral contradiction becomes impossible to ignore. Before government discusses the reintegration of those who carried guns against society, it must tell Zamfara people what comprehensive programme exists for the rehabilitation and reintegration of the innocent citizens those guns displaced.

What about the farmer who cannot return to his farm?

What about the widow whose husband was murdered?

What about the orphan whose parents were killed?

What about families whose homes were burnt and livestock stolen?

What about communities abandoned because residents can no longer sleep safely in their own villages?

Who is rehabilitating them?

Who is reintegrating them?

Who is compensating them?

Who is restoring their livelihoods?

Government must never create the impression that taking up arms against society provides a faster route to government attention than becoming a victim of those arms. That would send a dangerous message.

A credible peace process must be victim-centred, justice-driven and transparent. It cannot merely collect weapons, label their owners “repentant” and return them to communities carrying the scars of their atrocities.

There must be rigorous identification and biometric documentation, intelligence screening, weapons verification, continuous monitoring and clear criteria separating those eligible for rehabilitation from persons who must face prosecution for serious crimes.

Communities must also have a voice.

No traumatised village should wake up one morning to discover that individuals associated with its destruction have been “rehabilitated” and returned without consultation, safeguards or justice.

Even government officials appear to recognise the problem. At the inauguration of the DDR committee, the Secretary to the State Government called for a Victims Support Fund as part of the peacebuilding framework. But Zamfara's victims deserve more than another proposal.

They deserve action.

The State Government should therefore tell the public, clearly and transparently:

How much has been committed to victims compared with the resources being committed to DDR?

The government must publish the framework governing this programme, including eligibility requirements, disarmament procedures, prosecution thresholds, monitoring mechanisms, reintegration conditions, funding and the role of affected communities.

There must be no secret arrangements.

There must be no political middlemen.

There must be no cash-for-guns bazaar.

There must be no blanket amnesty for atrocities.

And there must be no rehabilitation programme that elevates perpetrators above victims.

Zamfara Stat has travelled this road before. Arms have been surrendered and peace initiatives celebrated in the past, yet banditry returned with devastating consequences.

We cannot afford another cycle of violence, surrender, rehabilitation, rearmament and violence again.

Peace without accountability can become an invitation to tomorrow's criminality.

This is particularly important as the 2027 elections approach. Security must never become an instrument for political theatre. The suffering of Zamfara people is too profound to be reduced to headlines, ceremonies or programmes designed to create the appearance of progress.

If this DDR initiative is genuinely different, government must prove it through transparency, measurable results and justice.

If it is truly surrender, let the terms be made public.

If it is truly disarmament, let every weapon be documented.

If it is truly repentance, let there be credible screening and monitoring.

If it is truly justice, let those responsible for grave crimes answer before the law.

And if it is truly about peace, let the victims come first.

The fundamental question is simple:

WHY SHOULD THE MAN WHO CARRIED THE GUN RECEIVE MORE GOVERNMENT ATTENTION THAN THE FAMILY THAT RAN FROM HIS BULLETS?

Zamfara people are not opposed to peace. We desperately need peace.

But we reject a peace that appears to reward violence while victims remain forgotten.

We reject any process that turns criminals into privileged stakeholders while displaced citizens become spectators in decisions concerning their own communities.

We reject selective compassion that remembers the perpetrator and forgets the victim.

And we reject security policy by contradiction.

The government cannot repeatedly proclaim “no negotiation with bandits” and then introduce a major DDR structure without giving citizens a comprehensive explanation of how the two policies fit together.

This is not merely politics.

It is about justice.

It is about accountability.

It is about the dignity of thousands of families whose lives have been shattered by insecurity.

Before we rehabilitate those who terrorised Zamfara, let us rehabilitate the Zamfara they destroyed.

Before we reintegrate perpetrators, let us return displaced families to their communities.

Before government spends public resources giving former bandits another chance, let it give their victims a chance to rebuild their lives.

Zamfara State does not need another experiment.

Zamfara State needs security.

Zamfara State needs justice.

Zamfara State needs accountability.

And above all, Zamfara needs a government that stands unequivocally with the victims.

VICTIMS FIRST!

JUSTICE FIRST!

ZAMFARA FIRST!

NDC CALLS FOR URGENT SECURITY MEASURES ON GUSAU–FUNTUA HIGHWAY

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Zamfara State Chapter, under the able leadership of its State Chairman, Alhaji Surajo Garba Mai Katako, has called on the Federal Government and the Zamfara State Government to take urgent and decisive action to address the persistent attacks by bandits along the Gusau–Funtua highway.

The party described the frequent attacks on the major highway as unacceptable, deeply concerning, and a serious threat to the lives, businesses, and livelihoods of innocent citizens who depend on the road for transportation and economic activities.
Speaking on the situation, the NDC Zamfara State Chairman, Alhaji Surajo Garba Mai Katako, said the call for immediate government intervention has become necessary considering the strategic importance of the Gusau–Funtua highway to Zamfara and neighbouring states.

He noted that the highway serves as a major transportation route connecting Zamfara with Katsina and other parts of the North-West, while also providing an important link for the movement of people, agricultural products, goods, and services across the region.

According to him, the continuous attacks on the road have created fear among motorists, passengers, traders, farmers, and other road users. He therefore urged the Federal Government, in collaboration with the Zamfara State Government and relevant security agencies, to deploy adequate security personnel and necessary security equipment along the highway, particularly at vulnerable and identified flashpoints.

The lives of our citizens must be protected. The recent attacks along the Gusau–Funtua highway are unacceptable and heartbreaking. Government must not wait until more innocent lives are lost before taking decisive action.

Mai Katako further stressed that ensuring the safety of the highway would not only protect human lives but would also help restore public confidence, strengthen economic activities, and facilitate the movement of agricultural produce and other essential commodities between Zamfara, Katsina, Sokoto, Kebbi, and neighbouring states.

The NDC also called for improved intelligence gathering, regular patrols, rapid-response mechanisms, and stronger cooperation between security agencies and local communities. The party believes that a combination of proactive security measures and reliable intelligence can help prevent further attacks and protect innocent citizens.

The party sympathises with all victims and families affected by the recent attacks and urges the government to provide appropriate support to those who have suffered losses.

Finally, the NDC Zamfara State Chapter appeals to the people of Zamfara State and other affected communities to remain vigilant and cooperate with security agencies by providing credible information that can assist in preventing criminal activities.

The party also encourages citizens to continue praying for Allah’s intervention, protection, and blessings, and to pray for the restoration of lasting peace and security in Zamfara State and Nigeria as a whole.

*TAKE-TSABA ATTACK: ENOUGH OF THE BLOODSHED — NDC DEMANDS DECISIVE ACTION*

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Zamfara State Chapter, condemns in strong terms, the latest bandit attack on Take-Tsaba District of Talata Mafara Emirate, which reportedly claimed three lives and left an unspecified number of residents abducted.

This attack is yet another painful reminder that insecurity continues to devastate our communities. Zamfara people cannot continue to live, farm, travel and conduct their businesses under constant fear of killings and abductions.

The NDC State Chairman, Alhaji Surajo Garba Mai Katako, calls on the Federal and Zamfara State Governments to treat the worsening security situation as an emergency and move beyond rhetoric to decisive action.
Government has a fundamental responsibility to protect lives and property. We therefore demand intensified security operations, stronger intelligence gathering, immediate efforts to rescue those abducted, and adequate support for families and communities affected by these attacks.

The NDC extends its heartfelt condolences to the families of those killed and stands in solidarity with the people of Take-Tsaba and the entire Talata Mafara Emirate.
The people of Zamfara deserve security, not condolences after every attack.

Enough is Enough.

*NDC CONGRATULATES MUSLIM UMMAH ON MAULUD, CALLS FOR PRAYERS FOR PEACE IN ZAMFARA*

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Zamfara State Chapter, congratulates the Muslim Ummah, particularly the Tijjaniyya and Qadiriyya communities, on the occasion of Maulud commemorating the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

The party urges Muslims to use this important occasion for reflection and fervent prayers for the restoration of peace, security, unity and economic prosperity in Zamfara State and Nigeria.

The NDC State Chairman, Alhaji Surajo Garba Mai Katako Gusau, said the enduring teachings of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) on peace, justice, compassion, honesty and peaceful coexistence remain particularly relevant at a time when many communities are confronted by insecurity and economic hardship.

The NDC also calls on government, religious and traditional leaders, political actors and citizens to work collectively towards restoring peace and strengthening social harmony. Our farmers must be able to return safely to their farms, businesses must thrive, and families must live without fear.

As the 2027 General Elections approach, the party urges the people of Zamfara State to remain peaceful, vigilant and politically conscious, and to assess candidates based on character, competence, credibility and programmes.

The future of Zamfara rests on the choices of its people. We therefore call on citizens to support leadership that will prioritise security, education, healthcare, agriculture, employment, infrastructure and good governance.

The NDC once again congratulates the Muslim Ummah and prays that Almighty Allah accepts all acts of worship and supplications and grants Zamfara State and Nigeria lasting peace, unity and prosperity.

Maulud Mubarak.
