Major contender for the 10th Assembly Senate President seat, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, has accused some of his colleagues in the Red Chamber of treachery.
Yari had dragged the Senate Presidency seat with ex-governor of Akwa-Ibom State, Godswill Akpabio, who defeated him to clinch the coveted office.
Akpabio polled 63 votes while Yari got 46 votes.
The former Zamfara governor said his loss arose from betrayal saying, “I can say there was a betrayal because as we were taking stock at 3 am on Tuesday before the election, we took stock of over 76 people in our team.
“We took into cognisance that there could be a fall out of about 15 and we had agreed that if that happens, we would comfortably still have about 61 people.
“But what we got was the reverse and yes, I felt betrayed over that outcome.”
