The Director-General of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, Abdulaziz Yari, has sought royal blessings for President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections, expressing confidence that the party would retain Kwara State.
Yari spoke during consultative visits to the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, and the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, as part of the council’s nationwide engagement with traditional rulers ahead of the elections.
A statement from Yari’s media office, made available to journalists in Abuja on Sunday, said the visits were aimed at deepening ties with traditional institutions, promoting mutual understanding and seeking royal leaders’ prayers, blessings and guidance as the council continues its nationwide consultations.
The statement read in part, “The delegation made it clear that it was not seeking political endorsement or mobilisation support, but rather the prayers and blessings of the royal fathers, underscoring the moral and spiritual anchorage traditional rulers provide in the nation’s political process.
“The Director-General and his entourage departed from the private wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, following an early-morning assembly of stakeholders, with departure scheduled for 11 am prompt.
