  "account": "All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council Director-General Abdul’aziz Yari has urged Northerners to back President Bola Tinubu's bid for re-election in 2027. Yari, a former governor of Zamfara State, made this appeal during a visit to the palace of the Oba of Lagos, Oba Riliwanu Akiolu, on Monday. He explained that Tinubu's support for former President Muhammadu Buhari, who served two terms from 2015 to 2023, is a reason to vote for Tinubu's re-election. Despite internal party pressures to run for the presidency in 2019, Tinubu remained loyal to Buhari, which Yari believes should be rewarded by the North. Yari stated that the APC campaign council sees Tinubu's presidency as a positive development, and they want Nigerians to continue supporting him for the remaining years of his term.",
