Yari Gathers 3,000 Imams in Zamfara to Pray for Tinubu

On September 13, 2026, Senator Abdulaziz Abubakar Yari, the Director-General of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign, organized a gathering of about 3,000 imams in Zamfara State. This event aimed to seek divine intervention for peace in Nigeria and to pray for the success of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the upcoming 2027 general elections.

The prayer session, led by Liman Dan-Alhaji Sambo and other prominent ulamas, focused on addressing insecurity in Zamfara and other national challenges. Senator Yari expressed gratitude for the support from the people of Zamfara and described his appointment as a significant honor for the state.

He urged the imams to promote peace and national unity through their sermons, framing the 2027 election as a collective national responsibility rather than a regional issue. Yari also acknowledged President Tinubu's historical support for northern political interests, reinforcing the importance of unity in Nigeria's diversity.
