Speaking to party stakeholders at his Talata Mafara residence on Saturday, Yari declared that despite being out of power in the state, the APC remains the ruling party in Nigeria and is well-positioned for a political comeback.
“Our gathering today is to renew confidence and assure everyone that APC is still strong,” Yari stated. “By 2027, we will return to lead Zamfara State. We cannot continue to be called the opposition.”
The meeting, which drew thousands of loyalists, showcased unity within the Zamfara APC and reaffirmed its support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration. Among the dignitaries present were the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle; Senator Sahabi Ya’u (Zamfara North); Hon. Abdulmalik Zannan-Bungudu; Hon. Sulaiman Abubakar Gumi; and former deputy governors Ibrahim Wakala, Muktar Ahmed Anka, and Hassan Muhammad Nasiha.
Yari highlighted that although the party lost control of the state in the last election, its national influence and grassroots network remain solid. He emphasized the need for members to stay united and strengthen mobilisation efforts across wards and local governments to prepare for the 2027 polls.
“Zamfara remains an APC state in spirit and structure,” he said. “Our mission now is to rebuild and reclaim the mandate that truly belongs to our people.”
State APC Chairman Umar Tukur Danfulani echoed Yari’s optimism, urging members to remain disciplined and avoid internal divisions. “The task ahead requires teamwork and commitment,” he said, expressing confidence that the APC would soon return to the Government House in Gusau.
The gathering also served as a platform for reaffirming support for President Tinubu’s economic and security reforms. Yari praised the president’s leadership, describing the ongoing policies as necessary steps toward national stability and growth.
“We stand firmly with President Tinubu and the APC-led government,” he said. “These reforms will pave the way for prosperity, and Zamfara will be part of that progress.”
Guillermo Hoyos has said his long-standing friendship with Lionel Messi will not influence his decisions after being named head coach of Inter Miami CF.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Hoyos was unveiled on Wednesday, less than 24 hours after the club confirmed the departure of Javier Mascherano due to personal reasons. Mascherano had led Inter Miami to their first MLS Cup title just four months earlier.
The Argentine coach previously served as the club’s sporting director and shares a relationship with Messi that dates back over 20 years, beginning at FC Barcelona’s youth academy.
However, speaking at his first press conference, Hoyos stressed that personal ties would not affect his professional duties.
He said their friendship is “non-negotiable,” but added that it would not translate into special treatment or constant oversight on the pitch.
While the club initially described him as an interim coach for upcoming matches, later updates referred to him as head coach, suggesting a more formal role.
Hoyos is expected to remain in charge until mid-year, before a new technical structure is introduced ahead of the Leagues Cup in August.
Inter Miami CF currently sit third in the MLS Eastern Conference after seven matches, keeping them in strong early-season form.
Messi, captain of Argentina’s World Cup-winning side, remains central to the club’s ambitions as they continue their push for more silverware under new leadership.

In a post on social media, Showunmi said Atiku’s political strength and preparedness give him an advantage in the emerging contest, while noting that former Transport Minister Rotimi Amaechi could emerge as his strongest rival.
He also observed growing political dissatisfaction across parts of the country, particularly in the North, saying both rural and urban voters are increasingly aggrieved.
According to him, these sentiments could significantly influence the outcome of the 2027 general elections.
Showunmi warned political actors against neglecting loyal supporters, noting that shifting alliances could reshape the political landscape ahead of the polls.
He further described Atiku as fully committed and actively preparing for the race.
Highlighting key regions to watch, he said the South-East may play a decisive role, while the South-West remains unpredictable, and the North-Central could serve as a critical swing zone in the election.
