Senator Yari leads campaign council delegation to the Sultan of Sokoto
The delegation sought counsel and prayers as the Sultan called for peaceful, issue-driven campaigns.
Senator Abdulaziz Yari led a presidential campaign council delegation to the palace of the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, in September 2026. The visit sought prayers, counsel and guidance ahead of campaign activities.
Sokoto State Governor Ahmed Aliyu received the delegation. Yari spoke about a peaceful campaign focused on public issues. In response, the Sultan emphasised unity, respect for voters’ decisions and care in the way political actors discussed insecurity.
The Sultan encouraged citizens to assess political promises and public records. He also urged political leaders to place the interests of Nigerians above division and to pursue the work of improving people’s lives.
The national assignment
The engagement formed part of Senator Yari’s work as Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council. His consultations bring the campaign organisation into direct conversation with traditional institutions and community leaders.
The role follows earlier service as Governor of Zamfara State and Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, and sits alongside his present mandate as Senator representing Zamfara West.
