Yari: If Buhari, a retired general could not wipe out insecurity, what do you expect of Tinubu?

All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign chief, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, has cautioned against placing sole blame on President Bola Tinubu for the ongoing insecurity in Nigeria. In a visit to Kebbi state, Yari spoke to Governor Nasir Idris, traditional rulers, and other party leaders, commending their efforts in mobilising support for the party.

He highlighted the collective commitment of APC members as crucial for Tinubu and other APC candidates to secure victory in the 2027 elections. Yari acknowledged the challenges faced by the nation, including insecurity, but maintained that the Tinubu administration was actively working towards addressing these issues. He pointed out that even a retired general like Buhari could not completely eliminate insecurity, implying that expectations for Tinubu, who is not a retired general, should not be higher.

Yari urged Nigerians to consider their relationship with God, emphasizing that collective responsibility alongside government efforts is necessary to tackle insecurity. Regarding the economy, Yari noted that Nigerians were experiencing hardships, but inflation had decreased and fertiliser prices had reduced. The Federal Government is implementing measures to alleviate the burden on citizens, such as cash transfers to vulnerable households.

Yari also acknowledged that other countries, like the United States and Saudi Arabia, continue to face challenges. He urged Nigerians to appreciate the efforts of the Tinubu administration and support its development agenda. Governor Idris welcomed the PCC delegation, expressing happiness over the meeting of APC leaders and traditional rulers.

He acknowledged the state's progress due to federal government projects under Tinubu’s administration and expressed confidence that Kebbi would continue to support the APC in the 2027 general elections.
