APC Presidential Campaign Council director Senator Abdulaziz Yari says President Bola Tinubu should not be held solely responsible for Nigeria’s ongoing insecurity. Speaking during a visit to Kebbi State, Yari argues that even Muhammadu Buhari—who served as both president and a retired army general—could not completely eliminate security challenges.
Yari made the remarks while meeting Governor Nasir Idris, traditional rulers and other APC leaders in Birnin Kebbi. He also acknowledged that the country continues to face serious security difficulties, but said the Tinubu administration is making efforts to address them.
Across the reports, the central focus is Yari’s comparison between Buhari’s tenure and Tinubu’s current term, framed as a question of expectations given Buhari’s military background. The outlets also note that Yari used the visit to express confidence in APC prospects in Kebbi State ahead of the 2027 elections, stating that the campaign council would work with supporters committed to Tinubu’s re-election.
