Yari and APC Leaders Seek Clerical Support for Tinubu

Senator Abdulaziz Yari (Zamfara West), accompanied by key leaders from the All Progressives Congress (APC), including former Kano State Governor Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and former Kebbi State Governor Senator Adamu Aliero, convened meetings with Muslim clerics to rally support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in anticipation of the 2027 general elections. The delegation's tour began in Jos, Plateau State, where they were welcomed by Sheikh Sani Yahaya Jingir, Chairman of the Council of Ulama of JIBWIS.

The team then visited Kano, Kaduna, and Bauchi, engaging with leaders of various Islamic sects. In Bauchi, Sheikh Ibrahim Dahiru Bauchi prayed for President Tinubu and emphasized the importance of ongoing dialogue between the state and religious communities.

In Kaduna, discussions with Sheikh Abdullahi Bala Lau focused on pressing national issues, including security and economic challenges. The tour concluded in Kano, where Sheikh Qaribullahi Nasiru Kabara offered prayers for peace and urged the delegation to promote unity across Nigeria.
