Yari Advocates for Power Rotation to Enhance Unity

Senator Abdulaziz Yari, the Director-General of the APC and former governor of Zamfara State, called on Northerners not to insist on retaining the presidency in 2027. Speaking to journalists in Kano, he emphasized that political power should rotate between the North and South to promote national unity.

Yari noted that the North has held power for many years since Nigeria's independence and should allow other regions the opportunity to lead. He argued that the North's numerical strength should not justify a claim to political power, as this would hinder unity and development.

Yari expressed confidence that power would return to the North after the current political cycle, predicting a return by 2030. He also defended the government's management of economic and security issues, urging citizens to evaluate performance based on economic indicators rather than solely on challenges faced.

He called for collective efforts towards peace and national development.
