Senate Presidency: Yari Visits NNPP Headquarters, Seeks Support

A former governor of Zamfara state and a senate president hopeful, Abdulazziz Yari on Thursday took his campaign to the national secretariat of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).

Speaking with reporters after meeting with the NNPP leadership in Abuja, Yari said he is committed to the “Nigerian project”.

Yari said he will visit the leadership of other political parties to rally support for his senate president bid.

“We are very committed to the Nigerian project, and we strongly believe that the constitution is going to prevail. We are going to the floor of the house and an election will take place,” he said.

“Fully knowing that it is a democratic setting, we wish to be having these engagements, this is my first place of call and I will be visiting other parties – labour, SDP, PDP, APGA, and YPP and seek the support of their members in this project.

“The 10th assembly is different because we have seven parties, and every party and their votes count. We are going round to canvas the support from the leadership of the parties so they can speak with their members for us to do the right thing for Nigerians.

“We are going to continue with this struggle until we get there.”
