Tinubu's Campaign Team Engages Emirs for 2027 Elections

On Monday, Abdulazeez Yari, the Director-General of the Presidential Campaign Council, led a delegation of political leaders on a consultative tour of the palaces of the Emirs of Gwandu, Katsina, Daura, and Zaria. This initiative is part of the council's nationwide consultations with traditional rulers and political stakeholders in preparation for the 2027 general elections.

During the visits, the Emirs offered prayers for peace, unity, and the success of Nigeria’s democratic process. Yari stated that the council was not seeking political endorsements but rather the prayers, blessings, and wise counsel of the traditional rulers, highlighting their moral and spiritual significance in the political landscape.

The delegation included prominent figures such as Kebbi State Governor Nasir Idris, Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal, and several former governors. The council reaffirmed its commitment to working with all stakeholders and acknowledged the vital role of traditional institutions in promoting peace and stability as political activities ramp up ahead of the elections.
