Abdulaziz Yari, former governor
of Zamfara state, has dared anyone with evidence of corruption against him to
present it.
Yari gave the challenge when
leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state visited him at
his in Talata Mafara residence in
Zamfara on Sunday.
The former governor said while in
office, his business was to spend money and that it was spent for the development
of the state and its people.
“I challenge anyone who says I
personalised government property or funds within and outside the country while
as governor to come forward and expose me,” Yari said.
“As a governor, my business was
to spend money which is what I did, but that was in line with the development
of the state and for the benefit of the good people of the state.
“We as true believers know that
any action that comes for or against us is from Allah and those who think they
can neutralize, break or bring us down cannot succeed.
“When we first won elections in
2011, we had no government at either federal, state or local government levels
and we consolidated this with our second term in office, so l know that hope
cannot be lost now that we have government at the center, at the local
government and at the wards levels.
“I prayed to Allah in 2011 not to
support me if my administration will not benefit my people, having served two
successful terms means that Allah has been with us that is why l want to assure
you that we shall come out stronger than before.”
A transition committee set up by
Bello Matawalle, governor of the state, had alleged that Yari misappropriated N251 billion but the
former governor denied the allegation and accused the new administration of
witch-hunting him.
