Senator Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar, representing Zamfara West in the National Assembly, has accepted his appointment as Director-General of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council for the 2027 election.
Yari’s appointment followed the constitution of the campaign council by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the January 2027 presidential election.
The composition of the council was announced by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy and Coordinating Director for Media and Strategic Communication of the campaign council.
Under the structure, Tinubu will serve as chairman, while Vice President Kashim Shettima and APC National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, will serve as vice chairmen.

Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, was named secretary of the council.
Reacting to his appointment in a statement on Saturday, Yari expressed appreciation to Tinubu and the APC leadership, describing the responsibility as one he would approach with seriousness.
“I accept this responsibility with deep gratitude and full seriousness. My sincere thanks go to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the party for the trust placed in me, and to our party leadership for the confidence. I do not take it lightly,” he said.
Yari said the 2027 campaign would go beyond seeking votes, describing it as an opportunity to engage Nigerians on the direction of the country.
He described the campaign as “a conversation with the Nigerian people in every state, every language, every faith about the future we are building together.”
The former Zamfara governor pledged to lead the campaign with discipline and unity, while calling for the participation of party members and supporters across the country.
He said the campaign would begin immediately and assured that “there is a place for everyone.”
Yari also appealed to Nigerians across political divides to prioritise national progress over division, saying the APC would seek to win public confidence through its record rather than political rhetoric.
He expressed confidence that the party would secure victory in the 2027 presidential election.
“By the grace of God, and with the effort of us all, we will deliver victory in January 2027,” he said.
