APC campaign DG Yari says Tinubu’s rivals lack his “10%” qualities for 2027 race

 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.
