Senator Kabiru Marafa, former coordinator of the Tinubu‑Shettima 2023 presidential campaign in Zamfara State, alleged on Monday’s “Politics Today” programme on Channels TV that the All Progressives Congress (APC)‑led federal government is infiltrating opposition parties. Marafa made the claim after recently confirming his resignation from the APC. When asked about his next political move, he said he has not yet decided which party to join, preferring to study the membership and dynamics of various parties before committing.
According to Marafa, the APC’s strategy is to “plant land mines” inside opposition parties, creating unnecessary conflicts that distract from substantive issues. He explained that this tactic targets well‑meaning individuals who seek to advocate for the people and advance their causes. Consequently, Marafa and his team are cautiously evaluating their options to avoid becoming entangled in such battles.
Marafa’s resignation and his allegations carry significant implications for Nigeria’s political landscape. If the APC is indeed infiltrating opposition parties, it could disrupt the balance of power and undermine the democratic process. His eventual choice of party could have far‑reaching consequences for the country’s politics, highlighting the complexities and rapid shifts of alliances and rivalries within Nigeria’s system.
As the nation navigates these developments, Marafa’s move and the APC’s alleged tactics will be closely watched by politicians, analysts, and citizens alike. The evolving political environment leaves it uncertain how Marafa’s decision will affect the broader landscape and the future of opposition parties in Nigeria.
