Former governor of Zamfara state Senator Ahmad Sani Yarima, has signaled his intention to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in the next general elections set for the year 2023.
He revealed his intention while speaking with newsmen who accosted him on Sunday shortly after he paid a condolence visit to a famous Islamic scholar, Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi over the death of his wife.
While fielding questions from newsmen, Yarima, an All Progressives Party (APC) member said that various political groups from different parts of the country had approached him to contest for the presidency.
“And by the grace of Allah, I will contest for the seat in 2023,” he said.
“The APC has set a standard of producing a presidential candidate through direct primaries and by the grace of Allah I will contest the primaries. People will look for a candidate that has something to offer for the country, a common man will not look for money but will look for what I can offer to the country,” he said.
