2027: APC To Sell Tinubu’s Scorecard, Not Promises- Yari

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has declared that its campaign for the 2027 general elections will be driven by facts and performance, not fresh promises or personal attacks.

The Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Senator Abdulazeez Yari, stated this on Thursday in Gusau after a closed-door meeting with Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, and traditional rulers in the state.

Yari, a former governor of Zamfara, said the party had resolved to go to Nigerians with its “scorecard” ahead of 2027.

“The APC’s 2027 campaign will centre on issues and what the party intends to do if given another opportunity to govern the country,” he said.
“It will not be about making fresh promises but about highlighting what the APC-led administration has already accomplished.”

The Campaign DG said Nigeria had passed through turbulent periods that threatened its unity, but citizens had continued to keep the country together.

“Nigeria is a wonderful country. We have been seeing so many things which some predicted that Nigeria will not continue as a country, from June 12 to others. This is where we are. Nigerians continue to ensure this country remains a united country,” Yari said.

He described President Bola Tinubu as a patriotic leader committed to national development.
“Tinubu is beyond any other person. He is for Nigerians, and a leader that loves this country without any fear of contradiction,” he added.

Yari said his first official engagement as DG was with traditional institutions because of their influence at the grassroots.
“Although they are not politicians, they remain close to the people and play an important role in society,” he said.
He described seeking their “support and blessings” as critical to the success of the campaign.

On his part, Governor Dauda Lawal said the meeting was organised to formally present Yari, _“a son of the soil”_, to the royal fathers following his appointment.

“It is important for us to hand him over to them to seek for their support. This is the reason for the meeting,” the governor said.

Lawal assured the Campaign Council that President Tinubu would receive _“100 percent support from the people of Zamfara State in the 2027 election.”_

The meeting signals the early commencement of political mobilisation by the ruling party ahead of the 2027 polls.
