The YARI 774 Initiative for Asiwaju 2027 has congratulated Senator Abdulaziz Yari, Marafan Sokoto, on his reported appointment as Director-General of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council for the 2027 general elections.
The grassroots mobilisation platform, in a statement signed by its National Chairman and Convener, Chief Dr. Ibrahim Emokpaire, described the appointment as “well deserved” and a case of “a round peg in a round hole.”
The group said the appointment was a recognition of Senator Yari’s years of political service, leadership experience and commitment to the APC and the Nigerian people.
According to the statement, Yari’s political experience, particularly his tenure as a two-term Governor of Zamfara State and as Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, has prepared him for the demands of coordinating a nationwide political campaign.
The group also credited the former governor with contributions to security, education, healthcare and infrastructure development during his administration in Zamfara State.
It further noted that Yari’s experience extends beyond elective politics, describing him as a businessman whose enterprises have created employment and economic opportunities for Nigerians.
The statement added that his traditional title in the Sokoto Emirate and his philanthropic activities had further demonstrated his commitment to service and community development.
As a serving senator, the group said Yari had continued to contribute to national development through legislation and representation in the National Assembly.
The YARI 774 Initiative expressed confidence that, under Yari’s leadership, the APC Presidential Campaign Council would conduct an inclusive and issue-based campaign capable of strengthening the party’s structures and mobilising Nigerians in support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Renewed Hope Agenda.
“Under Senator Yari’s direction, we are confident that the Campaign Council will run a robust, inclusive and issue-based campaign that will further unite our party and consolidate the gains of the Renewed Hope Agenda,” the group said.
The organisation pledged the support of its national executive members, state and local government coordinators, women and youth leaders, as well as its members across the 774 local government areas, to the campaign council.
It said its members were ready to work with Senator Yari to mobilise grassroots support and contribute to what it described as a “resounding victory” for the APC in the 2027 elections.
