The senator, who represented Zamfara Central Senatorial District in the 8th National Assembly, said: “The former Senate President was going to Kaduna for a wedding and he called me to join him since he knew that I am based in Kaduna.

“We actually flew into Kaduna together because I was in Abuja when he called me.

“The former Senate president was my boss. He wanted me to accompany him to the wedding organised by a spiritual leader.

“The cleric gave out his daughter out in marriage yesterday (Friday), and he invited Saraki and Yari, but I was not invited.”

Asked if the former governor of Kwara state tried to woo him to defect to the PDP, Marafa said: “Can somebody woo me to the PDP?”

“I don’t need to be wooed; if I want to join the PDP. I will do so without anybody influencing me.

“I participated actively in the building of the APC as a critical stakeholder. I was a sitting senator then.

“I am a senior engineer in the team that built the APC. I will therefore not abandon my house to bricklayers, plumbers, electricians, and others who were mere Iabourers when the construction was going on.

“A lot of those who are parading themselves as leaders of the APC were doing menial jobs when I was issuing professional instructions as a senior engineer.’’
