Senator Abdulaziz Abubakar Yari (Zamfara West), known as Marafan Sokoto, is a prominent figure in Nigerian politics, noted for his consistency and impactful service. His political journey began as the State Secretary of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), where he organized the party at various levels.
