Senator Abdulaziz Yari has urged northern voters to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election, presenting north–south power rotation as an argument for political continuity.
Speaking to journalists in Kano, the former Zamfara governor said cooperation between regions was important for national unity, according to Voice of Nigeria.
Yari argued that Tinubu should be allowed to seek another term to continue the administration’s programmes and projects. He also asked Nigerians to assess the government through economic and development indicators rather than regional identity alone.
These are the senator’s political positions, not a determination of how Nigerians will vote or an entitlement to office. The election will still require candidates to make their case to the electorate. The remarks illustrate how regional balance and assessments of government performance are becoming intertwined in discussion of the next presidential contest.
