Governor Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara state has tagged Saturday’s governorship primary election in the state as “no nonsense” saying it would be “fire for fire”.
Speaking during a grand rally organized in support of his governorship candidate Alhaji Mukhtar Shehu Idris. Governor Yari said those who want peace shall see peace and those who do not want peace shall see otherwise.
He then took a swipe at the other aspirants on the APC’s platform known as “Group 8” saying they are envious and weak minded adding that they would be defeated in the forthcoming primary elections.
“I have tagged this election as “no nonsense” we have made no mistake in anointing Alhaji Mukhtar Shehu Idris because it has been a tradition that we anoint candidates at the end of our tenures. Former governor Ahmad Sani anointed his then deputy Alhaji Mahmud Aliyu Shinkafi and we raised no eye brow on that”
“But some people out of envy and weak mindedness are challenging our decision because they did not learn a lesson from the previous decisions. They should learn to respect the decision of leadership. We are hopeful that we will become triumphant Insha Allah,” he added.
He described the G8 as selfish politicians who have no interest in the development of Zamfara state.
“We are set for the primaries, this primary is “no non sense” everybody should be be ready to face the G8 and defeat them squarely”, he added.
In his remarks, the chairman APC elders Committee , Alhaji Lawal Abubakar Kaura said the decision of the governor was endorsed by the majority of the party stakeholders.
He urged party supporters to be firmed in supporting governor’s anointed candidate for rapid and continued development.
