Former Northern APC Governor Working for PDP’s Atiku Against Tinubu Has Been Revealed

Former northern APC governor who is leading top party chieftains and other governors to work against Tinubu has been revealed

 

Before the election in 2023, the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) could encounter a new, significant obstacle. Some of the party’s top officials are reportedly working against Bola Tinubu, the candidate for president.

 

 

According to reports obtained by Ejesgist.ng on Monday, Abdulaziz Yari, a former governor of Zamfara State, is leading a group of dissatisfied Northern party officials in a covert effort to prevent Tinubu from winning the 2023 elections.

According to credible sources, APC leaders are collaborating with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in opposition to make sure Atiku Abubakar, the PDP’s presidential candidate, wins the election.

 

 

 

According to sources who spoke with Ejesgist.ng, Yari recently met with Atiku in Paris, France, on his way to the United States.

 

 

According to sources within the APC presidential campaign council (PCC), the Northern politicians are accusing the party’s national leaders and Tinubu of ignoring Yari’s nominations to the PCC.

 

Ejesgist.ng has learned that Yari was a founding member of the APC from the now-defunct All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP).

 

However, the former Zamfara Governor claimed that the party leadership and President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration had relegated him to the background since his successor, Governor Bello Matawalle, abandoned the PDP for the APC.

 

With everything he did for Buhari and the APC in Zamfara, he said he and his numerous supporters were abandoned. Rather than rewarding him for the investment he made for the APC, he has been running a battle with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), one of the sources reportedly said.

 

The anti-graft agency is looking into Yari for alleged illegal financial dealings and fund misappropriation.

 

The former Governor, who left office in 2019, was arrested for his alleged role in the Paris Club refund judgment debts, as claimed by some private firms.

 

 

The investigation is looking into his handling of the proceeds of the Paris Club refunds from 2017, when he was chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, to May 2019, when his two terms as governor ended.
