I Was Betrayed During 10th Assembly Leadership Election – Abdulaziz Yari

Nigerian politician, Senator Abdulaziz Yari has come out to say that he felt betrayed by the outcome of the 10th Assembly leadership election result.

He recently reacted to his defeat at a media brief, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he believes betrayal was at play because a large number he thought were for him eventually turned out to be against his bid.

Yari added that he has already given the senate president the assurance that they will work together to protect the country.

His words, “I can say there was a betrayal because as we were taking stock at 3 am on Tuesday before the election, we took stock of over 76 people in our team.”

“We took into cognisance that there could be a fall out of about 15 and we had agreed that if that happens, we would comfortably still have about 61 people.”

“But what we got was the reverse and yes, I felt betrayed over that outcome.”

“Life is a circle and as a Muslim, God had decided who would be the president of the Senate for the 10th Assembly and I have no reason not to accept what God has decided.”

“I gave the Senate president, the assurance that we are going to work together as a team to protect the institution that we have.”

“Also, I have a discussion with my team; I told them for the task ahead of us, we have to support the leadership so that Nigeria can grow better.”
