Former Governor Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara State is indispensable to the state’s ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) if the party wants to maintain control of the state’s politics.
The State Chairman of the party, Tukur Umar Danfulani, made this assertion at Talata-Mafara on Sunday, 22nd May, when he led the party’s leadership on a solidarity visit to the former governor at his country home.
Danfulani recalled that as one of the founding fathers of what has now transformed into the APC, the party cannot afford to part ways with the former governor whose generosity, good leadership and wealth of experience are too valuable to be trifled with in Zamfara politics.
The party chairman assured that he would continue to pursue fairness and justice in his leadership where all members are treated equally, adding that the party would also ensure discipline and respect for leaders at all levels.
Responding, the former governor, Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar, who was elated by the visit, thanked the leaders for finding time to visit him.
He described the reconciliation in the party as a way forward for the development of Zamfara State and the party at all levels.

The former governor advised the party leadership to map out strategies on how to enlighten people about the importance of working together as enshrined in the party constitution for the success of the party in the forthcoming elections in the country, expressing confidence that the party would remain the only winning party in Zamfara State.
