Abdulaziz Yari, director-general (DG) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council, says none of those contesting against President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election matches him in terms of quality and competence.
The senator representing Zamfara west spoke on Wednesday
while addressing members of the Nigerian Union of Road Transport Workers
(NURTW) in Gusua, Zamfara state capital, where he canvassed support for
Tinubu’s re-election bid.
Yari was named the APC campaign council DG on August 22,
vowing to ensure victory for the president in the 2027 election.
He described the campaign as more than an election, saying
it would involve engaging Nigerians on the future of the country.
Addressing the NURTW members, the senator said the other
presidential candidates could not match Tinubu.
“That is how politics is. When you put all the aspirants
contesting against Bola Ahmed Tinubu on a scale, I don’t think the scale would
even accept them,” said Yari, who spoke in Hausa.
“We all know that none of the aspirants contesting against
him are on his level when it comes to merit and quality; we don’t think any of
them have even 10 percent of what Bola Tinubu possesses.”
The senator acknowledged that the presidential candidates
had the right to contest but said the APC would work to secure victory in 2027.
“But it is right to contest and campaign. By God’s grace, we
will work hard, and we will pray for God to give us victory, and we truly feel
that God will grant it to us,” he said.
Yari also urged party supporters to pray for Tinubu and
Dauda Lawal, governor of Zamfara, to win their respective elections.
“May God permit them to complete the good work they have
started for the people,” Yari said.
Former Vice-President Atiku Abubabakar of the African
Democratic Congress (ADC) and Peter Obi of the Nigeria Democratic Congress
(ADC) are the major contenders against Tinubu in the 2027 election.
