Former Zamfara State Governor and Senator representing Zamfara West, Abdulaziz Abubakar Yari, is being tipped to serve as the Director-General of the Tinubu/Shettima 2027 Presidential Campaign Council.

Yari, a prominent political figure from northern Nigeria, is reportedly being considered for the strategic role ahead of the 2027 presidential election. His extensive political network and experience are among factors being cited by supporters of his possible appointment.

The development comes amid renewed political calculations ahead of the 2027 elections, with Yari also previously expressing interest in becoming President of the Senate.

Beyond the 2027 contest, Yari has been mentioned in political circles as a potential presidential contender for 2031. However, there is no confirmed public declaration by him regarding a 2031 presidential bid.
