Yari Engages Northern Emirs for Tinubu's 2027 Support
On October 19, 2026, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, the Director-General of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, consulted the emirs of Gwandu, Katsina, Daura, and Zaria to mobilize support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid ahead of the 2027 general elections. Yari stated that the purpose of the visits was to seek the traditional rulers’ prayers, blessings, and advice, rather than political endorsements.
The APC campaign council reaffirmed its respect for traditional institutions, highlighting their role in promoting peace, unity, and stability. The visits are part of a broader consultative tour aimed at building consensus and galvanizing support before the campaign activities officially commence on October 24, 2026, in Kaduna State.
Yari was accompanied by several APC chieftains, including former governors and other party leaders, as they engaged with religious and traditional leaders across the country to seek backing for Tinubu’s re-election.
