Senator Abdul'aziz Yari, Director-General of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, confirmed that influential figures in northern Nigeria, including traditional rulers and Islamic clerics, are fully supporting President Bola Tinubu's campaign for re-election in 2027.
Yari made the announcement during a public statement, emphasizing the strong backing from key regional stakeholders. The support comes as Tinubu prepares for his second term, following his re-election in 2023.
The campaign has been focusing on consolidating support across various regions, with particular emphasis on the north. Yari highlighted the importance of traditional and religious leaders in shaping public opinion and mobilizing voters.
This endorsement follows recent rallies in key northern states, where Tinubu's message of stability and economic growth resonated with local leaders. The campaign team has been working closely with regional power brokers to ensure a unified front ahead of the 2027 polls.
Tinubu's re-election bid is seen as a critical step in maintaining political continuity in Nigeria. The support from northern leaders underscores the growing influence of regional dynamics in national politics.
