A faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara State led by a former governor of the state, Abdullaziz Yari, has flayed a former governor of the state, Senator Ahmed Sani Yarima, over his statement on the litigation challenging the dissolution of the party’s State Working Committee (SWC).
Yarima, had during a meeting at the weekend, said the suit challenging the dissolution of the executives would soon be thrown out.

But Yari’s faction which instituted the suit following the dissolution of the SWC by the Governor Mai Mala Buni led Caretaker Committee sequel to the defection of the state governor, Bello Matawalle, faulted Yarima’s statement.
Chairman of the Yari’s faction, Alhaji Lawal Liman, in a statement on Wednesday said it is rather unfortunate that Yarima is only interested in politics and issues that further “compound the problems” of the people of the state.
“Rather than playing the role of father to all, Yarima’s interest is always on fuelling the feud among party members in the state. He seems to be blaming every one for his failed presidential ambition.”
“We don’t know when Yarima became a judge. The courts cannot be bought, influenced or intimidated. The worthy example of the Supreme Court judgement that brought Yarima’s new master to power and the recent judgement recognizing Shekarau’s faction in Kano is enough for all failed politicians to know that Nigeria’s Judiciary has come of age and will always do the right thing regardless of which side the federal government is supporting in a particular case.
“We are very confident that the court will restore law and order in the party by restoring the members of our SWC, notwithstanding Yarima’s efforts to brew crisis by denting the image of the judiciary.
“The dissolution of the SWC by Buni was illegal and no amount of blackmail or intimidation by the Yarimas of this world would stop the courts from righting the wrong,” Yari’s faction said.
