Yari, northern leaders dump Tinubu, back Atiku

A former governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari is leading a team of aggrieved Northern leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress to secretly work for the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar, SaharaReporters has gathered.

According to multiple sources, Yari recently met with Atiku in Paris, France while on his way to the US.

He and others were said to have threatened to sabotage the presidential campaign of their party and its candidate, Bola Tinubu in the Northern region.

Multiple sources in the campaign council of the presidential candidate of the APC said intelligence reports at their disposal revealed that Yari is secretly working for the opposition party.

He was quoted as accusing the national leaders of the party and Tinubu of disregarding his nominations to the presidential campaign council.

Yari, who was one of the founding members of the APC from the defunct All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP) bloc has been relegated to the background by the party leadership and President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration since Governor Bello Matawalle dumped 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 said.
