YARIGATE: ABDULAZIZ YARI, SHARING BILLIONS TO BLACKMAIL, BECOME VP
Former Governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari, is sharing billions to politicians, keeping the records for blackmail purposes and lobbying to become Vice President should President Bola Tinubu decide to drop Vice President Kashim Shetima.
Boasting before his friends, Yari claims he pays the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, a whopping N2billion monthly, First Lady, Remi Tinubu, N2billion monthly, and hundreds of thousands of dollars to some aides of the President who guarantee him unfettered access to the President.
Yari targets close associates and family members of President Tinubu and gives them cash. At the birthday of Gilbert Chargoury recently, he allegedly doled out $5million to the Lebanese-Nigerian.
Senator Yari, representing Zamfara West, set up a political movement named The Renewed Hope Network (TRHN), for President Bola Tinubu, and gave N9billion to Hon. Abiodun Faleke to run the organization on his behalf.
“Yari keeps records of everyone he has given money. Either through transfers or cash, he keeps records and when he needs to blackmail them, he pulls the records out,” a close associate of the former Zamfara Governor told me.
According to the associate who prefers to remain anonymous, in 2021, Yari gave late President Muhammadu Buhari $20million and gave former First Lady Aisha Buhari $3million and kept the records.
In 2022 when he was arrested over N84billion and N22billion fraud, in his statement to security agencies, he listed Buhari and Aisha as those he gave parts of the money to. Upon hearing about his statement to security agencies, Buhari immediately ordered his release.
Sources say Yari’s source of income is from the illegal gold mining in Zamfara state. Aside that, he gets N180million monthly from the Federal Government as consultancy fees.
