Speaking at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, the Zamfara senator also said he believes the All Progressives Congress (APC) will continue to retain the presidency even beyond 2031.

Yari’s comments followed the unveiling of the APC presidential campaign council, with President Tinubu named as chairman. Vice-President Kashim Shettima and APC National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, were also listed among the council’s top officials. Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, was named secretary, while Yari was appointed director-general.

However, the composition of the campaign council has attracted criticism, especially over the inclusion of serving public officials and some individuals facing unresolved allegations.

Despite the backlash, Yari remained confident that the council would work successfully towards securing Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.

He said, “Today, we have seen him as president, and by God’s grace, he shall still be president come 2027.”

Yari also assured Nigerians that the APC would fulfil the promises it made during the 2023 election campaign, insisting that the party is committed to keeping its word.

He added that the campaign council would support Tinubu’s administration and work towards ensuring that its promises to Nigerians are fulfilled, while also praying for God to grant the president wisdom to lead the country.

Yari further expressed hope that the APC would remain in power after what could be Tinubu’s second term in office.
