NYF Rejects Sheriff as APC Campaign Coordinator

The Northern Youths Frontiers (NYF) has publicly rejected the appointment of Senator Ali Modu Sheriff as the North-East Zonal Coordinator for the All Progressives Congress (APC) 2027 Presidential Campaign Council. In a statement signed by Saminu Tukur, the NYF described the decision as a strategic and reputational concern that requires immediate reconsideration by the APC leadership.

The group, which has been mobilizing youth support for the Tinubu/Kashim 2027 project across the 19 Northern states and the Federal Capital Territory, emphasized that the campaign council's composition must reflect the electorate's confidence and sensitivities. NYF expressed that Senator Sheriff’s inclusion could weaken the campaign, especially as the APC should focus on communicating its administration's achievements.

While acknowledging Sheriff’s denial of various allegations, NYF stated that a presidential campaign is not a courtroom and that campaign appointments carry significant political consequences. They urged the APC to drop Sheriff from the campaign council to strengthen the party's focus on its campaign message.
