Former Nigeria Governors Forum Chairman and ex-Governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari, has restated his commitment to building the All Progressives Congress as a political party.
Yari said this in response to the news making the rounds that he was part of a move to form a new political party.
According to the ex-Governor who spoke on Friday, the purported news was aimed at belittling the efforts he has put into creating the APC throughout its formative stages to what it is today.
He said: “I have never contemplated abandoning the party I helped form, let alone forming a new party.
“I have never fixed a meeting as being reported to discuss my possible abandoning APC for another new party.
“This is utterly untrue and it remains so.
“Those behind that story know better what they want to achieve, but I assure my supporters that I remain a strong APC member from my polling unit to ward, Local Government, State and the Nation at large.
“Those who know my political history can attest to my commitment to building the party.
“I have never shied away from my responsibility to help the party, not now, not after or even beyond.
“I see this as the work of those who are becoming so jittery about my political ambition to contest the National Chairmanship of our great party in the forthcoming congresses as the fitness of their imaginations.”
Yari, a front runner in the forthcoming national convention of the party, is believed to be highly favoured across board.
His pre-degree as a goal-getter and result-oriented achiever has been described as an asset to the party and will no doubt create the desired turnaround of the party once voted as the National Chairman of the APC.
