Senator Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar, representing Zamfara West, has accepted his appointment as Director-General of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential Campaign Council for the 2027 election.*
Yari’s appointment followed the constitution of the council by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the January 2027 presidential election.
Reacting in a statement on Saturday, Yari expressed appreciation to Tinubu and the APC leadership, describing the responsibility as one he would approach with seriousness.
“I accept this responsibility with deep gratitude and full seriousness. My sincere thanks go to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the party for the trust placed in me, and to our party leadership for the confidence. I do not take it lightly,” he said.
The former Zamfara governor said the 2027 campaign would go beyond seeking votes, describing it as “a conversation with the Nigerian people in every state, every language, every faith about the future we are building together.”
He pledged to lead the campaign with discipline and unity, and called for the participation of party members and supporters nationwide. He added that the campaign would begin immediately and assured that “there is a place for everyone.”
Yari also appealed to Nigerians across political divides to prioritise national progress over division, saying the APC would seek to win public confidence through its record.
“By the grace of God, and with the effort of us all, we will deliver victory in January 2027,” he said.
