Senator Abdul Aziz Yari Abubakar, Director-General of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, has urged northerners not to use the region's population to challenge the informal power-rotation arrangement in the country. He said the North should respect the political understanding that led to the emergence of President Bola Tinubu from the South in 2023 and allow him to complete his constitutionally permitted eight-year tenure. Yari made the call while speaking to journalists at Kano Government House after a meeting with Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf. He recalled that former President Muhammadu Buhari, a northerner, governed from 2015 to 2023 before Tinubu emerged as president.
