Former Governor of Zamfara State Ahmed Sani, Yariman Bakura, has declared his intention to run for president in 2023.
Sani, popularly known as Yarima, disclosed his intention at a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, where he also dismissed where he dismissed the notion of zoning in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
“You may recall that in 2006, I declared my interest to contest for presidency after having served Zamfara State for a period of eight years.
“However, I decided to withdraw for the current President at that time and since then I went to Senate for three terms.
“Now that Mr. President is completing his second term, I decided to try again to see what God will have for me having voluntarily decided not to go to the Senate again,” the former governor said.
Yarima, who found his way to the Senate after the botched presidential ambition, said there was no agreement on zoning in the APC.
“You see, I don’t think there is anything like agreement. You can ask Mr President, he led the group, Asiwaju [Bola Tinubu] was there, I was part of it, there was no meeting. Agreement can’t be verbal, it has to be written,” he said.
