Yari finally opens up on Matawalle’s planned defection
Meanwhile, former governor, Abdulaziz Yari, who is also the APC leader in Zamfara, said after much deliberation, they have decided to welcome Matawalle into the party despite their initial resistance.
He said they have given the condition that Governor Matwalle would abide by the party’s principles and progressive ideology.
Yari said that though the governor failed to face governance and unite the entire people of the state since his assumption of office, the APC as a family would still accommodate him in the party with the hope that he would add more value to the party than destabilizing it.
