Governor Abdul'aziz Yari of Zamfara State will forever remain a disgrace for abdicating his responsibilities as the Chief Security Officer of his state. May his type never come our way again.

God bless the NPF and other security agencies that heeded the call to duty.
May God continue to protect the people of Zanfara and the red of us.
God bless PMB/PYO

Such a man should not be excused under any circumstances. He resigned as the CSO of his state but didn't do so for himself as he still retained his retinue of security aides and the state budget and ran to Abuja. He was a coward.
