Am I the first governor in Zamfara state?- former governor Abdul-Aziz Yari responds after Arise TV anchor, Rufai Oseni, asked why he should be Senate President when he failed to reduce 92% poverty level in Zamfara when he was in office.
Yari who is in the race to be the 10th Senate President was on the TV station this morning and Rufai Oseni, asked why he should be Senate President when he failed to reduce the poverty level in his state whilst living an ostentatious life.
Responding, Yari said
‘’What has Zamfara state got to do with the Senate President? Before me, how many governors governed Zamfara state? Am I the first governor?
When asked what he did to change the poverty level in the state, he continued
‘’Am I the first governor in Zamfara state? I am not. It is on record that I was the governor and I have done my best. The issue of poverty is all over the Northern part of the country. You know it so it is not the one that I can make a magic. ‘’
