President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has promoted Alhaji Ibrahim Kabiru Masari to the position of Special Adviser on Political Affairs. Masari, a close ally of the President, previously served in the same capacity as Senior Special Assistant, having first been appointed to the role in 2023.

The Katsina-born politician has a long history in party administration, including serving as Welfare Secretary during Senator Adams Oshiomhole’s tenure as party chairman.

In his new role, Masari will work alongside Alhaji Yau Darazo, who was appointed to a similar advisory position by President Tinubu in July 2023.
