Former Zamfara State Governor Alhaji Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar has stated that zoning in the legislature is unconstitutional.

He stated that anyone from any part of the country can fill any position.

While fielding questions from reporters at his Talata-Mafara country home, Yari stated that the legislature is an independent arm of government.

He stated that members of the National Assembly can choose their leaders regardless of tribe or religion.

“The constitution allows anyone to seek any position irrespective of tribe or religion, since one has the support of his colleagues”, he added.

The former Governor explained that winning election to him is not a do or die affair, pointing out that he will accept defeat if he is defeated in the Senate presidency race.

“So, I may be the next Senate president by the special grace of God if the Almighty Allah permits me to be,” he said.

Speaking further, the senator-elect advised his teeming supporters to be law-abiding and respect constituted authorities as prescribed by Islam.

“We are not fighting a political war with our opponents but we just want to show that we are politically mature to handle political issues in the State.

“Remain calm and be watching the political movement in the State because the end result will expose every political misbehaviour in the State,” he noted.
