Former Zamfara State Central Senator, Kabiru Marafa, has accused President Bola Tinubu of showing undue favoritism to Lagos State, as reported by Punch on Tuesday, 2 September, 2025.
Senator Marafa, who recently resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC), voiced his concerns during a media interview.
He argued that Tinubu’s position as president gave him control over vast national resources.
According to Senator Marafa, over N3 trillion had been directed to Lagos since Tinubu took office.
He said this was unfair because Lagos did not vote for Tinubu in the 2023 elections, while Zamfara did.
Sentaor Marafa also claimed that most of the president’s aides were chosen from Lagos.
He said this showed that Tinubu prioritized his home state over regions that supported him politically.
In contrast, Zamfara, which delivered votes for Tinubu, received little recognition or reward.
The former Zamfara State senator stressed that his politics is not about personal loyalty to one leader.
He said he joined politics to improve the lives of his people, not to serve individuals.
He dismissed the idea of political slavery, insisting that fairness and equity should guide appointments and allocation of resources.
“If Mr President didn’t get the opportunity he got now to be the President, would he have been able to allocate resources of over N3tn to Lagos State? Would he have been able to appoint the number of aides from Lagos State, where he lost elections and won in Zamfara State? I’m not in politics to serve anybody,” he said.
