The Northern Awareness Network (NAN) has shed light on the motivations behind the emergence of factions within the All Progressives Congress (APC) led by Senator Kabiru Marafa and Aminu Sani Jaji.
According to NAF, the recent political realignment involving Senator Abdulaziz Yari and Minister of State for Defence Bello Mohammed Matawalle, which has formed a formidable alliance with significant political influence beneficial to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu across the northern region, has provoked a sense of threat among figures such as Marafa and Jaji.
In a press statement signed by its Chairman, Salihu Suleiman, NAN said: “Specifically, Marafa is dissatisfied due to his belief that he was excluded from federal government appointments, while Jaji’s grievances stem from not being appointed Speaker of the House of Representatives.
“We are aware of the slanderous actions being financed and conducted under the guise of religious sermons. The President must take swift and decisive action to counter these calculated attacks.
“The actions of Senator Kabiru Marafa and Aminu Sani Jaji raise serious concerns about the political future of party politics in Nigeria. The motivations behind their factions within the APC must be thoroughly investigated, and decisive action must be taken to safeguard the unity and progress of the party.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu must remain vigilant in the face of these challenges and strive to uphold the values of integrity and unity within his administration.”
