Abdulaziz Yari, director-general of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, is not waiting for the 2027 election cycle to start making his case. He has come out firmly confident that President Bola Tinubu will secure a second term, pointing to two things he believes will carry the ticket: performance and faith.
Yari, speaking in his capacity as APC-PCC director-general, leaned on the idea that Nigerians will ultimately judge the administration by what it delivers on the ground. His argument is straightforward. If the results are there, the votes will follow.
The faith dimension of his statement adds an interesting layer to the conversation, suggesting that beyond policy outcomes, there is a belief within the party's inner circle that broader forces are aligned in Tinubu's favor. Whether voters share that confidence remains the real question heading into the next electoral season.
