President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has elevated his close political ally, Alhaji Ibrahim Kabiru Masari, to the position of Special Adviser on Political Affairs.
Masari previously served as Senior Special Assistant to the President on Political Affairs, a role he was appointed to in 2023.
The appointment was disclosed in a statement issued on March 5, 2026, by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga.
Before joining the Presidency, the Katsina-born politician held the position of National Welfare Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the tenure of Senator Adams Oshiomhole as the party’s national chairman.
In his new role, Masari will work alongside Alhaji Yau Darazo, who was appointed Special Adviser on Political Affairs by President Tinubu in July 2023.
