Yari Urges Northern Leaders to Support Southern Presidency
On October 20, 2026, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, the Director General of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC-PCC), called on northern stakeholders to permit the southern region to complete its eight-year presidency. This appeal was made during visits to the Emirs of Gwandu, Katsina, Daura, and Zaria, as part of a broader consultative effort to build consensus ahead of the January 16, 2027 elections.
Yari emphasized that the royal visits were not for political endorsements but to seek the prayers and guidance of traditional leaders. He was accompanied by notable figures including former governors from various states.
Kebbi State Governor Nasir Idris echoed Yari's sentiments, stating that fairness dictates allowing the South to complete its tenure, highlighting the North's previous eight years in power. Both leaders praised the support of traditional rulers for the APC-led administration and encouraged continued loyalty.
