Zamfara Gov, Yari plotting manipulation of Friday’s Supreme Court Judgment, Northern Youths Allege

Zamfara Gov, Yari plotting manipulation of Friday’s Supreme Court Judgment, Northern Youths Allege


The Northern Youths Movement (NYM) has accused the Zamfara State Governor, Abdul’aziz Yari of abandoning the people of the State and running to Saudi Arabia to plot manipulation of the Supreme Court judgment on the dispute over the validity of the All Progressives Congress, APC, primary elections that produced the candidate fielded by the party in the last general elections. 


The youths, which berated the governor for abandoning the people of Zamfara to killings by armed bandits, alleged that the governor, who is banking on legal technicalities, travelled to Saudi Arabia to persuade President Buhari to tie confirmation of the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Tanko Mohammed to ensuring that the Friday judgment is in favour of his (Yari) APC faction in Zamfara.


They said even though the Zamfara APC case is not different from that of Rivers State, and INEC already confirmed that the party did not conduct any primary election and should not field any candidate, Governor Yari was putting pressure on the Acting CJN to apply legal technicalities to tilt judgment in his favour.


NYM in a release issued in Abuja on Monday, which was signed by its Chairman, Mallam Ishaya Jato, said it was painful that what was paramount to Governor Yari was the installation of his stooges as governor of Zamfara State at the expense of established authorities of the Supreme Court on cases similar to that of the State APC, and not the protection of the people of the State who are being killed daily.


While Governor Yari ran to Saudi Arabia (uninvited) to prevail on President Buhari to intervene and force the Acting CJN to legalise his illegal primary election by giving judgment in his favour on Friday, May 24, 2019, his subjects are being murdered in their numbers!


About 48 hours ago, armed bandits killed at least 17 people at three villages in Birnin Magaji Local Government Area of Zamfara State. 


Obviously, Governor Yari does not care what happens to his people, all he is after is to continue to squander public funds and become a Senator of the Federal Republic. 


The Supreme Court, especially the Justice Mohammed Tanko must therefore act in the interest of the people of Zamfara that are being killed daily by rejecting overtures from Governor Yari and give judgment in accordance with their conscience, the law and the will of Allah.

APC Governorship Aspirant, Atinuke Omolayo, Participates in Delegate Congress in Emure

October 25, 2025 A former governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State, Mrs. Atinuke Oluremi Omolayo (née Okeya), who was duly screened and cleared by the party’s National Screening Committee, has demonstrated uncommon party loyalty by stepping down for Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji and actively participating in the delegate congress held today in her Eporo Ward, Emure Local Government Area. Mrs. Omolayo, who was warmly received with an Ọ̀wọ̀ song by jubilant party members, expressed appreciation to her ward for the support they gave her when she initially declared her intention to contest for governor.

While addressing the crowd, Mrs. Omolayo urged party members in Eporo Ward...

Ignore Rumours: APC Confirms Governor Oyebanji’s Name to Be Submitted to INEC on January 16, 2026

…As APC Spokesperson Reiterates Official Candidate List Ahead of Publication The APC Integrity Caucus has moved to dismiss what it describes as a reckless and senseless rumour being circulated by a few individuals posing as party members. The gossip, they said, claims that the party “does not intend to submit” the name of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). In a statement released on Thursday, November 14, 2025, the caucus said such claims are baseless and should be ignored by every well-meaning member of the public. “Since the successful conduct of our governorship primary on October 27 and the ratification by authorised delegates on October 29, some mischief makers have been whispering that the party will not submit Governor Oyebanji’s name to INEC. This is completely false,” the statement read. The caucus emphasized that the APC operates according to a clearly defined timetable, which specifies the dates for submissio...
