A former Governor of Zamfara State (Abdulaziz Yari) has it affirmed that the defection of the current Governor (Bello Matawalle will not affect his urge to be National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Yari expressed optimism that he would clinch the ticket if APC zones its national chairmanship to his zone.
The APC leader in Zamfara State while speaking in Kaduna insisted that he would surpass other APC national chairman.
According to Yari: “It is not a self appointment. My aspiration is still in top gear, his ( Matawalle) joining APC will not jeopardize it. If the zoning favours my zone then it is 100%. Two things I am bringing to the party are reconciliation and unity.”
“I’m still pushing to be APC National chairman because I know I can do better than most of the people as a former state party secretary, state party chairman, House of Representatives member, two terms governor and chairman Governors Forum.”

Some of our people who I am representing are against his joining our party because they believe it would affect the oneness of the party,” he said
