Yari's faction of the APC in the state had on Tuesday, February 11 during a visit to the national chairman of the APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, raised alarm over the persecution of party chieftains by the Zamfara government. But, in a statement issued in Abuja on Wednesday, February 12, the faction loyal to Senator Kabir Garba Marafa, said the allegations are false. Chairman of the faction, Alhaji Surajo Garba Maikatako said Yari is only jealous of the successes recorded by the state government in the area of security.
