Senate presidency: Discipline ex-Gov Yari before he destroys APC – Obono-Obla

 

Former special assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on prosecution, Chief Okoi Obono-Obla has called on the national ruling party, All Progressives Congress, APC, to muster courage and discipline a former Governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari over his divisive statement.

 

In a statement, the former presidential aide said Yari’s utterances had become incendiary, disrespectful and capable of splitting the party into factions.

 

He quoted the ex-governor as threatening that the APC would cease to exist if the North does not get the Senate Presidency.

 

According to Obono-Obla, Yari had now become a pain in the neck of the ruling party due to his alleged intransigence and uncompromising attitude.

 

Obono-Obla described such daring statement as arrogant, recalling that it was such utterances and attitude that cost the party a colossal loss in Zamfara State during the 2019 general election.

 

“It is utterly inconceivable and insensitive that a supposed national leader like Yari could make such unreasonable statement.

 

“I shudder at such unreasonableness which Yari is exhibiting,” he said.
