Immediate past Governor of
Zamfara State, Abduláziz Yari, has spoken on why he insisted on his former
Commissioner for Finance, Muktar Shehu Idris, becoming the governorship
candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the last general elections.
Speaking with journalists at his
residence in Talata Mafara on Friday, Yari said he wanted Idris to succeed him,
to complete the development projects he initiated.
When asked what he was unable to
accomplish while in office, the former governor said: “What happened actually,
more especially the way it happened to me, was that I thought I am going to
hand over to a person who knows where I stopped and who is going to continue
from where we stopped, as party.
“Unfortunately, that was not how
God designed it to be. I left a lot of things I wanted to accomplish, such as
the state university. I wanted the project to reach 60 to 70 per cent
completion stage, so that the young person will complete it. The Anka Bagega
road is one of the projects I wanted to achieved 100 per cent, but I couldn’t
because of the financial crisis.”
Yari has
been expelled from the APC, for allegedly scuttling the party’s chances in
Zamfara State.
The party recently lost the state
to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), following a Supreme Court ruling.
