Yari: Northern Hawk Who Sides with Tinubu When It Matters Most

Senator Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara West has emerged as a rare northern ally of President Bola Tinubu in Nigerian politics. Despite the shifting allegiances in the political landscape, Yari has demonstrated consistent loyalty to Tinubu, even during politically risky times.

As the 2023 election approaches, Yari publicly reaffirmed his support for Tinubu, standing by him in the face of opposition within President Buhari's inner circle. Yari's strategic silence and procedural interventions have helped keep the race open, thwarting attempts to sideline Tinubu and impose a consensus candidate.

Despite criticism and loss of political patronage, Yari has remained steadfast in his support for Tinubu, even opposing policies that could harm the common man. As the 2023 election approaches, Yari's alliance with Tinubu remains a significant factor in Nigerian politics.
