Yari Urges Northerners to Embrace Leadership Rotation

Abdul’aziz Yari, the Director-General of the Presidential Campaign Council of the All Progressives Congress, warned against the demand for the presidency to remain in the North, stating that such insistence could undermine Nigeria's unity. Speaking at an event with prominent Islamic scholars at the residence of the late Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi in Bauchi State, Yari emphasized the importance of national unity and equality in leadership.

He stated that leadership should rotate between the North and South to maintain unity, asserting that if only northern leaders are considered, it would lead to division. Yari urged Nigerians to support a leadership arrangement that promotes inclusivity and allows for presidential candidates from different regions.

This statement was part of the PCC delegation's broader consultations with key stakeholders across the country ahead of upcoming political engagements.
