Alhaji Mafara was among the key figures in the Zamfara chapter of APC and a grassroots politician.
Speaking with journalists after a closed-door meeting with Lawal, Marafa made it clear that his conscience would not allow him to stick to what he described as failure.

“I informed the state government, former governor, and all my supporters prior to my defection from the APC to the PDP.
“I am doing this for the people, and it is my conviction that Dr. Dauda Lawal, if given the opportunity at the forthcoming election to govern Zamfara State, would tackle the problem of security, boost agricultural production, and create good markets for farm produce.”
