Zamfara lawmakers’ impeachment is personal profit – Governor Yari

 

 Zamfara Governor, Abdulaziz Yari, on Saturday said the impeachment process initiated against him by the state lawmakers was personal, selfish and against public interest.

Yari made the remark while fielding questions from journalists in Gusau, the state capital.

“There has never been any bill brought to me by the House of Assembly that l did not assent to nor have l ever spent money without their approval,” the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) quoted the governor as saying to journalists on Saturday.

He said the lawmakers’ claim that he had refused to see them to discuss matters of public interest was untrue.

Governor Yari explained that the legislators were unable to see him because they did not follow the “right channel.”

“This failure of the legislators to follow the right channel led to the people of the state to suspect that the lawmakers were planning evil,” he said.

Yari said he has cordial working relationship with the lawmakers.

“As members of the same political party, we have always discussed the problems and prospects of our party and proffered solutions.

“At the moment, the only challenge we have is that of security, which we are now adequately addressing with help from the Federal Government,” he said.
