President Tinubu's record, told in Calabar

Senator Yari led the campaign council to Calabar on 2 November 2026 with Vice President Kashim Shettima. The rally held at the U.J. Esuene Stadium.

He described President Tinubu as a committed democrat with the vision and experience to make Nigeria an independent economic power. He urged Nigerians to judge leaders by experience, performance and the capacity to make difficult decisions, and pointed to the President's record in Lagos.

At the same rally, Vice President Shettima spoke about federal projects for the region: the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, the proposed Bakassi Deep Seaport and the proposed Gulf of Guinea Commission Secretariat in Calabar.

Supporters lined the route from the Margaret Ekpo International Airport to the stadium to welcome the council. Senator Yari assured the President of continued support from northern political leaders.

On education, the Vice President said federal support is meant to ease the burden on parents and widen access to higher education. “No parent should, after all the activities of their children, surrender to a shortage of funds,” he said.
