Alhaji Sambo Marafa, Senator
Kabiru Marafa’s younger brother, has given reasons for his resignation as the
Special Adviser to Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State.
According to him, the insinuation
that there is a rift between him and the governor is far from the truth.
This was contained in a statement
he signed and made available to reporters on Sunday.
He said he resigned to enable him
to concentrate on his private business and also pave the way for other persons
from the teeming supporters of the governor to be considered for appointment.
Sambo said the cordial
relationship between his elder brother and the governor spanning decades, was
intact and flourishing for the benefit of the state.
He said, “Governor Bello has been
a senior brother to me because he is a very close friend of my elder brother.
“The struggle we made that saw us
to Supreme Court was not done to put PDP in government. It was done to defend our
collective rights and that of our people.
“My gratitude, therefore, goes to
Allah (SWT), then to Governor Bello for finding me suitable to be appointed as
his Special Adviser out of over four million people in Zamfara State.
“Looking back at the journey from
our party congresses to rancorous party primaries and the long journey through
the state high court, Appeal Court and finally the Supreme Court and the
massive support my brother got from the length and breadth of our state and
even beyond, I reasoned, it would amount to extreme selfishness to put myself
first before so many prominent members of my brothers political camp,
especially those that were either imprisoned, sacked, or wickedly
sidelined/redeployed, all because of the struggle to emancipate our state.
“I resigned to make room for some
of them to be considered.
“When I informed the governor, he
reasoned with me and he thus happily accepted my resignation, wished me well in
my business and promised to look for a suitable replacement from one of our
deserving members.
“Like my brother, I will always
pray and work for the success of Matawalle’s administration because his success
is ours. I’m ready to make any sacrifice for our beloved state.”
