APC-PCC's Yari Seeks Traditional Rulers' Blessings, Not Endorsements

Senator Abdulaziz Yari, the Director-General of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC-PCC), announced that the council's interactions with traditional institutions aim to seek prayers, blessings, and wise counsel rather than political endorsements. Yari made this declaration during a royal consultative tour of notable traditional institutions in Northern Nigeria.

The delegation included prominent leaders such as Kebbi state governor Dr Nasiru Idris, Zamfara governor Dauda Lawal Dare, and several former governors. They visited the Emir of Gwandu, His Royal Highness Muhammadu Iliyasu Bashar; Emir of Katsina, His Royal Highness Abdulmumini Kabir Usman; Emir of Daura, His Royal Highness Umar Faruk Umar; and Emir of Zaria, His Royal Highness Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli.

The delegation departed from the Private Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, at 11:00 a.m. and received warm welcomes at each palace, where the royal fathers offered prayers for peace and unity. This tour is part of broader consultations leading up to the 2027 general elections.
