2027 Presidency: Yari Reveals APC’s Strategy, Says Tinubu Loves Nigeria

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that its 2027 presidential campaign will be based on the performance of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, rather than personal attacks on political opponents.

This was made known by the Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Senator Abdulazeez Yari, in Gusau, Zamfara State, after a closed-door meeting with Governor Dauda Lawal and traditional rulers in the state on Wednesday.

Yari said the campaign would be used to tell Nigerians what the Tinubu administration had done and what it planned to do if given another term.

The campaign would be based on issues and the records of the government, rather than making promises or attacking individuals, he said.

He said Nigeria had gone through difficult periods that made some people to doubt whether the country would remain united but Nigerians had continued to protect the unity of the nation.

“Nigeria is a great country. We have seen so many things, from June 12 and others, some predicted that Nigeria will not continue as a country. This is where we stand. Nigerians continue to ensure that this country remains a united country,” Yari said.

It was said that the former governor of Zamfara State said Tinubu was dedicated to the development of the country and had demonstrated his love for Nigeria.

“Tinubu is above any other person. “He is for Nigerians, he is a leader that loves this country without any fear of contradiction,” Yari said.

He said the 2027 campaign would not be about fresh promises, but about showing Nigerians what the APC-led administration had done since they assumed office.

“My first official engagement as campaign council director-general was with traditional rulers because of their close relationship with the people,” he said.

“Although traditional rulers are not politicians, they have a significant role to play in the society and their support would be valuable to the campaign,” he said.

He said there was a need to seek their support and blessings as the party prepares for the 2027 election.

Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State said the meeting was to officially introduce Yari to the traditional rulers after his appointment as the APC Presidential Campaign Council’s Director-General.

The governor said Yari is a son of the state and that it was important for him to get the support of the traditional leaders before the campaign.

\”It is important to us, to hand him over to them, to seek for their support. That is the purpose of the meeting,” Lawal said.

The governor also assured the campaign council that Tinubu would have the full support of the people of Zamfara State in the 2027 presidential election.
