The Burkinabe forward narrated the sacrifices the Young Africans president made to convince him to join the Tanzanian Premier League giants that summer.
"Yes, I know they [Chiefs] wanted me," Aziz said.
"But when someone comes and shows you this respect because the President of Yanga came to see me when I was playing against RS Berkane in Morocco."
The former Asec Mimosas star claimed the Yanga SC President spoke to him in front of his family to make him feel special and to show how important it is for him to join the club.
"After that, they came to my family and spoke to me in front of my mother; that was already too much for me; that was special," he added.
The 28-year-old implied that Young Africans showed more seriousness in the deal than Kaizer Chiefs that year.
"This showed me their seriousness; they came all the way from Dar es Salaam to my family, not just calling and saying, 'Aziz, we've got an offer for you.' I also appreciated and trusted this project and the way it came; I was ready to come and join them."
