Senate President: Akpabio’s Main Rival, Yari Briefs Senators-Elect

Immediate former governor of Zamfara State and Senator-elect for Zamfara West, Abdulaziz Yari, has congratulated fellow senators-elect on the election into the Senate urging them to use the opportunity to work towards the unification of the country.

In a congratulatory letter to the Senators-elect dated May 13 he also urged them to put aside ethnic and religious sentiments that may mar the goal towards a united country in the task of collaborating with the incoming administration.

Yari who has picked momentum as the leading challenger to the APC’s adopted favourite, Senator Godswill Akpabio, in the letter to Senators-Elect said:

“You must all think up ways to work towards building a better and united country to make it safe for all. The voyage you are embarking on is a journey for the unification of Nigeria. This is an opportunity to rebuild this country in the interest of all.

“I, however, charge you to use the opportunity of your election to partner Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the President-elect in achieving the economy agenda of the country in ensuring human capital and infrastructural development of the country.

“You should strive to ensure a smooth relationship between the Executive, Legislature and Judiciary because together in unity of purpose, we can make the country a better place for all and make it march the achievements of advance nations.

“While in the Senate, you should always be reminded that you are indebted to your constituencies and should work towards attracting development projects to your people. This, in the first instance, is the reason you are elected to serve, and this is why you need a Senate President that is compassionate, honest, fair-minded and result driven.

“This is the time to eschew religious, tribal, nepotic tendencies and ethnic sentiments in the choice of the President of the Senate which is first among equals. As I continue to consult on my aspiration to serve you as your President of the Senate, please accept the assurances of my highest esteem,” the Senator-Elect Yari said.
