Yari: ‘We Locked Tinubu in Presidential Villa, But Handle the Operations’
The member representing Zamfara West, Abdulaziz Yari, has stated that President Bola Tinubu is confined in the presidential palace.
He asserted that the Nigerian Presidency is run from outside the Presidential Villa during a speech on Wednesday at the One Nigeria Project Conference in Abuja.
The former governor of Zamfara bemoaned the fact that the country’s elites are to blame.
Speaking further, he said that the United States President, Donald Trump, can’t help Nigeria.
Yari remarked, “This country called Nigeria, America says their own country is God’s own country, but this country called Nigeria is more of God’s own country than any other.
“This is because so many havoc initiated by we ourselves but we need to come together.
“A few problems arose prior to 1999, but the nation persisted. Look at June 12, people thought the country will go away but God that made the country in 1914 together, that God is in charge and would remain in charge.
Nigeria has come to stay as a nation, thus anyone who believes otherwise should not waste his time.
“Don’t call Trump, it’s the business of Nigerians, Trump has no business in Nigeria. He can’t fix the problem of Nigeria, the problem of Nigeria may be handled by Nigerians.
“I was with the President in the night and I told him that I would be here and if he has time, he should watch what we are doing and I think this organization should be given the support.
“The elite is the issue; you have individuals mistreating Tinubu because you are more aware of the issue than the reality.”
“Those close to the Presidency know that the Presidency is being run from outside the Villa than inside the Villa. We already have the President confined there, we locked him but we do the operations. So why don’t you consider the trust you’ve been given?
