Senator Abdulaziz Yari, Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, arrived in Bauchi State on 8 November 2026 and paid homage to the Emir of Bauchi, His Royal Highness Alhaji (Dr.) Rilwanu Suleiman Adamu. The Emir chairs the Bauchi State Council of Traditional Rulers.

Senator Yari said the talks centred on building relationships, promoting unity and deepening support at the grassroots for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The delegation then flew to Jos and went to the palace of the Gbong Gwom Jos, His Majesty Da Jacob Gyang Buba, to pay respects, seek blessings and strengthen peace between communities.

At the palace in Bauchi, the delegation delivered President Tinubu's goodwill message and asked for the Emir's prayers. The Emir thanked them for the visit and prayed for their safe journey and for blessings on their work.

His media office said the visit is part of consultations across the country with traditional and religious leaders.

In Jos, Governor Caleb Mutfwang and the Speaker of the Plateau State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Naanlong Daniel, were among those who received the team, which landed at Yakubu Gowon Airport and went straight to the palace. The Governor welcomed Senator Yari as the Director-General entrusted with representing the President.

Senator Yari told the Gbong Gwom, who heads the Plateau State Council of Chiefs and Emirs, that the delegation came to the palace first out of respect for traditional institutions, and to ask for their prayers, blessings and support. He expressed confidence in the President's commitment to building a better Nigeria.

The delegation spoke about federal work on infrastructure, economic recovery and agriculture. The Gbong Gwom welcomed them, called for a peaceful and inclusive campaign that promotes national unity, and prayed for better days for Nigeria.
