Yari Urges Northern Support for Tinubu's 2027 Bid
On September 14, 2023, Abdulaziz Yari, the director-general of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, called for northern support for President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid in the 2027 general elections. Yari emphasized that the northern region owes Tinubu a political debt, referencing his loyalty in 2019 when he chose not to contest for the APC presidential ticket and instead supported President Muhammadu Buhari's re-election campaign.
Yari stated that backing Tinubu is not solely about power rotation but reflects a broader conviction among Nigerians for the president to continue in office. He also credited Tinubu with efforts to restructure the country despite inheriting a challenging economic situation.
Yari's comments were made during a visit to Rilwan Akiolu, the Oba of Lagos, where he was accompanied by Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and other top APC leaders, including Aminu Masari, Pius Ayim, and James Faleke.
