Abdulaziz Yari, the Director-General of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, has asserted that the North will support President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election as a means of repaying him for his assistance during the late Muhammadu Buhari's tenure. Yari made this statement during a visit to the palace of Rilwan Akiolu, the Oba of Lagos.
He explained that the North sees this as their opportunity to complete their full term in the presidency. Yari recalled an internal struggle within the APC where some powerful groups sought to pressure Tinubu to run for president in 2019. However, Tinubu resisted this pressure and allowed Buhari to represent the North until the end of his term.
Yari stated that Tinubu fulfilled this commitment by supporting Buhari until Buhari requested it, thereby demonstrating his true intentions. He further emphasized that there is no reason for the North not to back Tinubu in the 2027 election, as they can continue building on the work Tinubu has already started and ensure he completes his term in office.
