Former Zamfara State Governor and Director-General of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC-PCC), Senator Abdulaziz Yari, has expressed confidence in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's re-election bid. Yari made these remarks while speaking with journalists in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, where he joined President Tinubu and other prominent Nigerians for the Umrah pilgrimage. According to Yari, God who granted Tinubu victory in 2023 will make Nigerians re-elect him for a second term.
Yari's comments followed Tinubu's media chat in Saudi Arabia, where the President stated his firm reliance on God for a second-term victory. Tinubu declared that Allah's wish in His court must prevail and that Allah is the only one who can define a human being, what he will be, and what he will become. This statement aligns with Tinubu's faith and his approach to leadership.
Building on the President's remarks, Senator Yari emphasized that President Tinubu's faith, track record, and the campaign council's outreach efforts would be the decisive factors in securing victory at the polls.

He added that Allah says they should work through all the procedures—to campaign, to talk to people, to convince them, and to show them what they have done and achieved. Yari expressed confidence that by God's grace, people will be convinced to elect them once again.
