Senator Yari takes helm of APC 2027 campaign, calls for national unity

Senator Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar accepted his appointment as Director-General of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council for the 2027 elections, announcing work would begin immediately. In a statement released Saturday in Abuja, the Zamfara West senator expressed deep gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and party leadership for the trust placed in him.

Yari framed the campaign as 'a conversation with the Nigerian people in every state, every language, every faith about the future we are building together,' emphasizing discipline, unity and respect for all political leanings. He urged Nigerians to choose progress over division, stating the party would earn public confidence through its record rather than noise, and declared: 'By the grace of God, and with the effort of us all, we will deliver victory in January 2027.'

This appointment positions a key northern figure at the forefront of Tinubu's re-election bid as APC seeks to retain power. Yari's emphasis on inclusive dialogue signals the party's strategy to broaden its appeal ahead of the contest. Nigerians should note this as the formal mobilization of APC's 2027 election machinery - watch for policy announcements, coalition building efforts, and how the campaign addresses economic concerns in coming months.
