  "account": "Senator Abdulaziz Yari, Director-General of All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC-PCC), is conducting nationwide consultations with traditional rulers ahead of the 2027 general election. These meetings include visits to the emirs of Gwandu, Katsina, and Daura. The consultations are part of Yari's broader strategy to build consensus and galvanise support across political and traditional leaders. The APC campaign council assured traditional rulers of its respect for Nigeria's traditional institutions and commitment to working alongside all stakeholders. Yari's son, Ahmad Yari, unveiled a new political movement, the AY-Seyi of Arewa Movement, to mobilise support for Tinubu’s re-election. The movement will be led by Hon. Nasiru Bazza as the National Coordinator and Grand Patron. Former governors and senators from various Nigerian states attended the royal meetings, offering prayers and blessings for peace, unity, and the nation’s democratic journey.",
