EKO HOT BLOG reports that a statement released by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, had earlier announced the constitution of the APC Presidential Campaign Council by President Bola Tinubu.

According to the statement, Yari was appointed Director General of the campaign council, while Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, was named Secretary.

President Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima will serve as Chairman and Vice Chairman I of the council respectively.

In a statement on Saturday, Yari expressed appreciation to President Tinubu and the APC leadership for entrusting him with the responsibility.

Yari, who represents Zamfara West in the Senate, described the campaign as more than an electoral contest, saying it would involve engaging Nigerians across states, languages and faiths on the future of the country.

The former Zamfara governor pledged to conduct the campaign with discipline, unity and respect for all Nigerians, adding that work would begin immediately.

Yari also urged Nigerians across political divides to choose progress over division, stressing that the APC would seek to earn public confidence through its record rather than noise.

He said, “I accept this responsibility with deep gratitude and full seriousness.

“My sincere thanks go to President Bola Tinubu and the party for the trust placed in me, and to our party leadership for the confidence. I do not take it lightly.

“By the grace of God, and with the effort of us all, we will deliver victory in January 2027.”
