“Let it be stated categorically and without ambiguity that Senator Abdulaziz Abubakar Yari has no connection whatsoever with any planned protest against the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“Indeed, President Tinubu himself has, on several occasions, publicly acknowledged Senator Yari’s loyalty, support and contributions to the success of the All Progressives Congress and the broader Renewed Hope agenda.
“Senator Yari is a statesman of considerable standing, who has never been associated with political frivolities, attention-seeking antics or underhanded schemes.
