Yari Announces Two Million Farmers Backing Tinubu for 2027

Abdul Aziz Yari, the Director-General of President Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign, stated that approximately two million farmers have committed to voting for Tinubu in the 2027 general election. Yari made this announcement during the campaign's flag-off event in Kaduna, emphasizing that the opposition is attempting to undermine the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) through AI-generated misinformation regarding Tinubu's agricultural policies.

He defended the administration's support for farmers and highlighted the government's economic achievements, including improvements in the exchange rate from nearly N1,800 to about N1,300 and an increase in foreign reserves from approximately $3.9 billion to $54.7 billion. Yari noted that the choice of Kaduna for the campaign launch was strategic, and he praised Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani for his coordination efforts.

He expressed confidence that Northern Nigeria would support Tinubu's re-election bid, asserting that the APC would rely on public engagement and its record rather than misinformation to win the elections.
