Yari Says APC Not Worried Over Faction

Governor Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara state has allayed fears over the emergence of a faction of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) known as Reformed-APC (R-APC).

After a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Thursday, Yari told newsmen that the crisis was expected in a big party like the APC, especially ahead of the general election.

Although he said he was worried over the development, he expressed the conviction that the party’s leadership would handle the matter.

He said, “Of course, I am worried over the matter but it is something the party will handle.

“You know that with the forthcoming elections, you will expect this kind of thing. You will expect crisis left, right and centre because of political interest, especially in a party with an overwhelming majority.

“The most important thing is that with the emergence of new leadership (of APC), everything will be resolved. Therefore, there is no panic.”
