From Maiharaji Altine, Gusau
Former Governor of Zamfara state, Abdul Aziz Yari said his decision to reconcile with Governor Bello Matawalle was not based on selfish interest.
Addressing Journalists in his resident in Talata-Mafara on Sunday, Yari said, he did not reconcile with Governor Matawalle simply because of his personal interest but rather for the interest of the state.
“I didn’t reconcile with Governor Matawalle simply because I want to attain certain political position”.
“But having thought of the implications of our sour relationship to the people of the state, I realize that, reconciliation is the best option”.
“It is often said that, “when two elephants fight, it is the grass that will suffer”, as such, we have decided to close our ranks and come together to move our state forward”.
Yari therefore called on his supporters to embrace the reconciliation process and work together with Governor Matawalle’s loyalists in order to move the state forward.
He stressed that, he would soon organise a town hall meeting with his supporters in order to enlighten them on the importance of the reconciliation.
Meanwhile, thousands of APC stakeholders have been trouping to the former Governor’s resident in Talata-Mafara to express their support to the reconciliation process.
Among those who visited Yari in his resident were, the state and the Federal Lawmakers, the Secretary to the state government, the head of service and the commissioners.
Others were the permanent secretaries, directors general and heads of parastatals.
