Yari Consults Ooni of Ife, Emir of Ilorin for 2027 Elections
On October 19, 2026, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, the Director-General of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC-PCC), visited His Imperial Majesty, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife, and Alhaji Ibrahim Kolapo Sulu-Gambari, the Emir of Ilorin. The purpose of these visits was to strengthen engagement with traditional institutions and seek the support, blessings, and counsel of these revered leaders as part of the Council's nationwide consultations ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Yari emphasized that the visits were not aimed at seeking political endorsements but rather at obtaining moral and spiritual support. He expressed confidence in the APC's ability to win various seats in the North Central state, citing progress since 2019 in education and healthcare.
The visits to Kwara and Oyo states mark the formal commencement of a consultative tour to gather blessings and build consensus ahead of the elections scheduled for January 16, 2027. Yari was accompanied by several notable party members, including Senators and former governors.
