The immediate past governor of Zamfara state, Abdulaziz Yari, has berated the report that was submitted by a five-man committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) which indicted him of various anti-party activities.

Yari, who reacted through his Media Aide, Ibrahim Dosara, on Wednesday maintained that the committee’s claims and the subsequent publications in the media had “no basis, contradicted court judgement and order”.

He lambasted that the committee’s report and the publication “caused serious embarrassment and damage” to his personality.

Recall that the APC five-man Disciplinary Committee on Tuesday in Abuja received a report of alleged anti party activities against its Deputy National Chairman (North), Lawal Shuaibu, and Yari.

It was further reports that a Federal High Court had dismissed a suit by the Marafa faction of the party and affirmed the Abdulaziz Yari faction as legally constituted.

The Yari faction has Lawal Liman as the state chairman.

The court also ordered that henceforth, the Marafa faction should stop parading itself as the legitimate Executive Committee in Zamfara.
