Zamfara Govr Diverts N500m Paris Club Refund To Repay His Loan by khalifjgusau(m): 8:41pm On Mar 28, 2017
According to the source, Mr. Yari withdrew N500m from the N19 billion Paris Club refund allegedly diverted to a special account of the Nigeria Governors Forum from the N522b allocated to the 36 states and deposited the sum into a mortgage bank account.

Governor Abdul’aziz Abubakar Yari of Zamfara State and Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum diverted N500 million from the recent Paris Club refund to pay off his loan, an Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) source revealed to SaharaReporters on Tuesday.

According to the source, Mr. Yari withdrew N500m from the N19 billion Paris Club refund allegedly diverted to a special account of the Nigeria Governors Forum from the N522b allocated to the 36 states and deposited the sum into a mortgage bank account.

Nigeria's anti-graft agency, EFCC, also told The Nation, “Of the N19 billion, we discovered that a consultant brought by the North-West governor was paid N2.2 billion. From the N2.2 billion, the governor got N500 million.”

Mr. Yari then transferred the sum to the mortgage bank from which he had borrowed N800m to purchase to properties in 2013. According to the source, the governor was able to renegotiate his debt from N800m to N500m.

The EFCC, however, traced the sum, knowing it was connected to Mr. Yari and the Paris Club loan. The mortgage bank then forfeited tthe N500m to the EFCC.

News of the Zamfara State governor’s embezzlement comes just one day after SaharaReporters revealed that Senate President Bukola Saraki was being investigated by the EFCC for his role in the embezzlement of N3.5b from the Paris Club loan through the slush fund placed at the Access Bank by the Nigeria Governors Forum, who claimed it was meant for consultants.

It's natural to gloat when somebody who suppose to have his people at heart, but obstinately and heartlessly torture his people, is finally getting exposed. Even Islam permits wailing when one is oppressed...

The reason for poverty in the state is culminated by no one but our government as all avenues that will see to the triumph of businesses is hindered and was never given a priority and the few good business men we have are been ushered with money for political reason. Secondly all that we require including the avenues to take out jobless youth out of creative jobs is at the mayhem.

A governing system that doesn't support its masses in entrepreneurship has this to bear in very much long reign they grab, till then only God can save Zamfara by giving us more just leader...

I think the problem is the quality of education, experience and even exposure. Most of the politicians don't have these qualities, the job is only a means to a very profitable end.

Take a look at El Rufai for instance, despite being obviously a Fulani tribalist, his qualities as a public servant is way above all the other governors up north. If not for the southern kaduna crisis, I think he's the best. And that is because of high quality education, experience and exposure as I stated above.

this is the actual reason ofcourse, government has ignorantly, unknowingly and ruthlessly squandered the chance Zamfara has to develop due to the lack of exact leadership qualities u stated. What they only specialised on is embarking on several white elephant projects (road construction) while ignoring the sectors that need attention...

Com on man, I think u never in your life visit Zamfara, because the state is millinnea behind the Abia, a gap that will never close. Even Borno and Yobe where BH or war have been totally destroying since last 7 years are better than Zamfara according to the 2015 report about the poverty of Nigerian states publish by the United Nation...

Wallahi, the poverty & under development in Zamfara is something else. One needs to have been or lived in Zamfara to know the level.

Bakura embezzled their allocations & used Sharia(religion) to blind them.

Now Yari is no way better but a chronic thief

This is the sincere truth, what you see and hear about Zamfara are nothing compared with the reality, our state running by the corrupt rascal politicians since its creation. In Yarima’s regime, he bamboozled Zamfarawa with the so-called Sharia. This entailed treating Zamfarawa, young and old, like primary school children... But I believe one day, God can make everything possible by removing those that lack the mental capacity to manage giving way for competent people to occupy there... InshaAllah
