Former Zamfara State Governor, Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar (Shattiman Zamfara) on Wednesday obtained a nomination form to contest for the National Chairman position of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming party’s National Convention.
Receiving the form from Alhaji Sabi’u Bello, who is an Assistant Director in the office of National Organising Secretary of the party, a former Nigeria’s Minister of Information and Chairman National Broadcasting Commission, Hon. Iƙra Aliyu Bilbis, said the action was to further demonstrate the former governor’s determination to realise his dream of salvaging the Party.
While addressing journalists on behalf of the team at the party’s national headquarters after obtaining the form for the former governor, Senator Tijjani Yahaya Ƙaura, who represented Zamfara North Senatorial District in the 8th Assembly, disclosed that it has been always the desire of Yari to put in his best in the nation-building.

According to him, the aspiration of the former governor was further fuelled by the fact that he has been a grassroots party man who rose through the ranks to become secretary and chairman of a national party in his state as well as national financial secretary.
He said if competence, capacity, and capability to deliver at any given situation are ingredients for successful leadership, APC at the national level needs the former governor as its national chairman at this point in time.
Senator Ƙaura explained that a two-time state executive governor as well as chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF), who was a founding member of APC, has all it takes to get the party out of its present woes.
Commenting about the event, Zamfara State APC chairman of the former governor’s faction, Lawal M. Liman Gabɗon Ƙaura, described it as another milestone in APC history for it reflects the wishes of the majority of its members nationwide.
Liman re-affirmed that delegates to the party’s national convention will not regret their action if they voted the former governor as national chairman, adding that he has a Midas touch on leadership issue as in no small-time he will re-invigorate APC.
He called on members of the party across Nigeria to give Honorable Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar a chance to lead them by voting him en masse in the forthcoming party’s national convention slated for March 26, 2022
