Abdulaziz Yari, governor of
Zamfara state, has asked the panel the national working committee (NWC) of the
All Progressives Congress (APC) set up to conduct a fresh governorship primary,
not to visit the state.
Yari said this while reacting to
the dissolution of the state executive committee of the ruling party.
The NWC had dissolved the exco
and scheduled a fresh primary election for Saturday.
This followed the cancellation of
the previous exercise over violence.
Yari has been accused of igniting
the crisis in a bid to impose his candidate on the people.
But the governor denied this
allegation, accusing Adams Oshiomhole, national chairman of the ruling party,
of working against the interest of the APC.
He accused Oshiomhole of
attempting to influence the outcome of the primary, saying he is ready to go
any length, even laying down his life, to prevent that from happening.
“We are here for another briefing
regarding the primary elections in Zamfara state. We have barely less than 52
hours by the guidelines of electoral act 2018 and we are still here with no
member of the committee to conduct the primary election,” he said.
“One development which is yet not
clear, the APC national chairman announced through the publicity secretary the
dissolution of party executives. Though, they have sent the counter release
that what they mean is that the state exco should not take part in the
processes of primary elections in Zamfara state, that we have no problem with.
“Now, we heard that the committee
of the chairman is not in consultation with any working committee. He
(Oshiomhole) is trying to be a kind of mini-god…The committee he sent to
Zamfara state, I want to say it categorically, they should never step into
Zamfara for one minute.
“I, Abdulaziz Yari, governor of
Zamfara state, head of government and security, I am saying that the committee
sent by Oshiomhole to come and do a dirty job should not dare come into Zamfara
state.
“We are ready, including myself,
to be taken to the graveyard tomorrow. If he knows that his father and mother
gave birth to him, he should send those people and see and it is fight to
finish.
“I told the president that this
is what Adams Oshiomhole is doing. I don’t have confidence in those people.
Therefore, those people sent should remain where they are and whatever happens
in the state, the president should hold Oshiomhole responsible. We are going to
mobilise all the APC people in Zamfara state and to fight this battle to
finish.”
