2027: Northern power brokers, emirs and imams back Tinubu, Yari assures

At the APC presidential campaign launch in Kaduna, Senator Abdul’aziz Yari assured Bola Tinubu that Northern Nigeria’s political power brokers, traditional rulers and Islamic clerics supported his return to office in 2027. Yari said the North was “101 per cent” behind the president and promised that the support would be evident on January 16, 2027. He also defended Tinubu’s economic reforms, including changes to the exchange rate and fuel subsidy removal, and cited government achievements in infrastructure, health, education and cash transfers.
