The South-West stood by the North. Now it’s time for us to pay back, and we will do so.
Says Northerners will re-ward Tinubu in 2027 for ensuring Buhari became president.
“The dream of President Buhari to become president in 2015 was fully hatched, designed, and financed by Tinubu,” stated Mr Yari.

A former chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, Abdul’aziz Yari, says the Northerners will vote for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027. Mr Yari made the assertion at his installation ceremony as Obaloyin of Yorubaland by the Alaafin of Oyo, Obaloyin Akeem Owoade, on Sunday.
According to Mr Yari, the president was instrumental in Muhammadu Buhari’s electoral victory.
“President Tinubu fulfilled his promise to former President Buhari. Some of us know that without President Tinubu’s plans, financial and other support, the North’s dream of ruling through Buhari couldn’t have materialised.
