Former Governor of Zamfara and Senator representing Zamfara West, Abdulaziz Yari, has called on Northern Nigerians to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for re-election in 2027.
Yari made the call during a meeting with Islamic scholars held in Talata Mafara on Saturday. He said the time had come for the North-West to repay the support given by the South-West to former President Muhammadu Buhari between 2015 and 2023.
According to him, political cooperation between the North and the South-West is important for the success of the ruling party and for political stability in Nigeria. He added that the South-West strongly supported Buhari, especially during his second term in office.
The former governor said it was only fair for the North to show similar support to Tinubu in order to strengthen unity and political development in the country.
