NDC Chairman Maikatako Invites Former Supporters Back

Alhaji Surajo Garba Maikatako, the Zamfara State Chairman of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), made an appeal for former supporters to return to the party, asserting that the NDC and its governorship candidate, Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa, do not "use and dump" their followers. This statement was issued on Thursday following a significant turnout at the inauguration of the NDC Governorship Campaign Council in Zamfara.

Maikatako praised the participation as a sign of growing confidence in Marafa's leadership, who was selected as the party's governorship candidate for the 2027 election through a consensus arrangement in May. He expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support shown at the event, indicating that it reflects the people's trust in Marafa.

Maikatako extended an invitation to those who had left the party, assuring them of fair treatment and a commitment to equitable support. The NDC is intensifying its campaign activities in Zamfara as it prepares for the upcoming election.
