Tinubu Names Masari as Special Adviser

New Appointments in the Presidential Office

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has made a significant appointment within his administration. Alhaji Ibrahim Kabiru Masari has been named as the Special Adviser on Political Affairs. This announcement was made by Bayo Onanuga, the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, during a statement released in Abuja on Thursday.

Masari’s role as a special adviser is an extension of his previous responsibilities. In 2023, he was first appointed as a senior special assistant on Political Affairs. His experience and understanding of political dynamics have positioned him well for this new position.

Born in Katsina, Masari has a long history of involvement in politics. He served as the welfare secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the time when Senator Adams Oshiomhole was the party chairman. His tenure in this role provided him with valuable insights into the inner workings of the party and its operations.

In his new capacity, Masari will be working closely with another key figure in the presidential office. Alhaji Yau Darazo, who was appointed as a special adviser in July 2023, will collaborate with Masari on various political matters. Their combined expertise is expected to strengthen the administration’s approach to political strategy and governance.

The appointment of Masari highlights the importance of experienced and knowledgeable individuals in shaping the direction of the government. It also underscores the need for continuity and stability in the political landscape of Nigeria.
