2027: Kwankwaso Criticizes President Tinubu’s Campaign Team Composition, Urges Senator Aziz Yari To Withdraw Acceptance Of DG Role

Former governor of Kano State, who is the NDC vice presidential candidate, Dr Rabiu Kwankwaso has criticized the newly constituted APC Presidential Campaign Council for the 2027 presidential election while urging Senator Abdul’aziz Yari to withdraw his acceptance of the Director-General role.

He also said the President Bola Tinubu administration has worsened ‘national hardship’.

Team@orientactualmags.com reports that Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, who said this in a social media post on Sunday night, added that the newly unveiled campaign council only recycled the same political figures responsible for the current economic and security challenges facing the citizens.

He described the upcoming 2027 general election as a defining battle between oppressed Nigerians and the beneficiaries of a failing system citing the August 15, 2026 Osun State governorship election as proof that citizens can resist political pressure.

He urged voters nationwide to demand people-centred governance.

‘This ruling party’s campaign structure presents another scenario between the oppressors and the oppressed. We must use it in the 2027 elections to reject continued oppression and demand accountable, people-centred governance. If Osun people can do it, so can all other parts of the country’ he said.

That was not all, Dr Kwankwaso also urged Senator Abdul’aziz Yari to step down from his newly assigned leadership position in the APC presidential campaign council.

‘I particularly appeal to my brother, Senator Abdul’aziz Yari, who has accepted to serve as Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, to reflect deeply and reconsider accepting this responsibility.

As a former governor of Zamfara State and a prominent leader from the Northwest, I believe Senator Yari has a clear understanding of the devastating consequences of insecurity, poverty, unemployment, displacement and the destruction of livelihoods in the region and the country at large.

I therefore will be surprised if in his good conscience, will lead a campaign whose principal objective is to secure the continuation of a government under which many of the people he once governed, and other innocent Nigerians remain trapped in these challenges’ he added.

Dr Kwankwaso also picked holes in the decision to include Executive Chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service, Dr Zacch Adedeji, and the Director-General of the Budget Office of the Federation, Dr Tanimu Yakubu Kurfi, in the campaign’s fundraising and finance structures noting that the leadership of critical public institutions demands neutrality, integrity and public confidence-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
