Prince Williams Akporeha, the former president of NUPENG, has provided insight into why the 108-member APC Presidential Campaign Council, led by Abdulaziz Yari, is poised to ensure Bola Ahmed Tinubu's victory in the upcoming January 16, 2027, election. Speaking on Saturday, Akporeha, who also serves as the National Coordinator of Working People United, highlighted Yari's reputation as a seasoned and dependable leader.

The Daily Post reports that Yari has been appointed as the Director-General of the Presidential Campaign Council for Tinubu, a move that has generated discussion in Nigeria's political landscape ahead of the 2027 election. Akporeha believes that Yari's selection will bolster Tinubu's chances of winning the election. "Senator Abdulaziz Yari is a proven political figure with extensive experience in governance, party organization, and grassroots mobilization," Akporeha stated.

"His appointment is a clear indication of the trust placed in his ability to lead a campaign of national importance." Akporeha further emphasized that Yari will ensure discipline, strategic coordination, and political experience throughout the campaign, reaching out to Nigerians from all regions and sectors.
