Reasons have emerged as to why the former Governor of
Zamfara State, Ahmed Sani Yari who was one of the presidential aspirants was
not able to clear the votes of the delegates from his state during the just
concluded APC presidential election.
One of the delegates who declined sharing his identity said
although Yarima was the doyen of Zamfara politics but he has lost his political
relevancies due to some factors.
Speaking with Dailypost in Gusau, the State capital, the
politician explained that almost 90 present of Zamfara State indigenes have
lost political interest in the former Governor because of his parochial
political strategy.
“We are all aware of the anti-party activities played by
senator Ahmed Sani Yarima during the reign of former president Good Luck
Jonathan”
“Senator Yarima claimed that he was not a member of the
Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) but he organized 53 Islamic clerics in 2015 to
Saudi Arabia to pray for Jonathan against APC he claimed to be his party”
The funny thing about the whole issue is that senator Ahmed
Sani Yarima is a Muslim while former president Good Luck Jonathan is a
Christian, then how can such a combination work perfectly ”
“That and other political problems linked to senator Yarima
destroyed his political dynasty in the State. Even the locals in the State
cannot speak good about the senator”
Continuing, he stated that when Governor Bello Mohammed
Matawalle, former Governor Abdul Aziz Yari and senator Kabiru Garba Marafa were
having political problems within the APC in the State which he said led to
factionalizing the party, Yarima refused to amend the cracks on the walls of
the party.
“Yarima who claims to be the doyen of Zamfara politics could
not call the warring factions to order since he actually made all of them
politically but he formed an unholy alliance with Governor Matawalle”
“Even the only 4 votes he got from Zamfara State delegates,
2 came from Bakura, his own Local Government Area while the other two came from
Anka Local Government where his mother came from and where he was born”
He said over twenty-five delegates followed the new
political godfather in the state, who is the former Governor, Abdul Aziz Yari,
saying they would go wherever he goes politically”
“Though senator Ahmed Sani Yarima brought former Governor
Abdul Aziz Yari to a political limelight, the former Governor has relegated
Yarima to the background politically because Yarima sold his political
relevance”
