Yari Accepts Appointment To Lead APC Presidential Campaign Council

Former Governor of Zamfara State, Senator Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar, has accepted his appointment as Director-General of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council for the 2027 election.

Naija News earlier reported that a statement released by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said Tinubu had constituted the APC Presidential Campaign Council.

According to the statement, Yari will serve as the council’s Director-General, while Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, was named Secretary.

Also, President Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima will serve as Chairman and Vice-Chairman I of the council, respectively.

In response, Yari, in a statement on Saturday, expressed appreciation to President Tinubu and the APC leadership for entrusting him with the responsibility.

Yari, who represents Zamfara West in the Senate, described the campaign as more than an electoral contest, saying it would be a conversation with the Nigerian people in every state, every language, every faith about the future we are building together.

The former Zamfara State governor pledged to conduct the campaign with discipline, unity and respect for all Nigerians, adding that work would begin immediately.

Yari also called on Nigerians across political divides to choose progress over division, stressing that the APC would seek to earn public confidence through its record rather than noise.

He added, “I accept this responsibility with deep gratitude and full seriousness.

“My sincere thanks go to President Bola Tinubu and the party for the trust placed in me, and to our party leadership for the confidence. I do not take it lightly.

“By the grace of God, and with the effort of us all, we will deliver victory in January 2027.”
