An Adviser on Youth and Skills Acquisition to Hon. Ibrahim Kabir Masari, Alhaji Yahaya Bello Potiskum, has described Masari as a key pillar of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s political engagement, highlighting his extensive efforts to promote public awareness of the administration’s policies, programmes and achievements.
Potiskum made the remarks during an exclusive interview with The National Lens, where he spoke about Masari’s political commitment, nationwide mobilisation initiatives and efforts to strengthen public understanding of the Tinubu administration.
According to him, Masari, who serves as the Special Adviser to the President on Political Affairs, has remained actively committed to supporting the President by deploying political networks and implementing structured programmes to ensure that the administration’s policies, activities and achievements are effectively communicated to Nigerians across the country.
He described Masari as one of President Tinubu’s trusted political associates and a dependable ally whose commitment to the administration goes beyond conventional political responsibilities.
Potiskum disclosed that Masari had established more than 360 support groups across the country as part of a coordinated effort to expand grassroots engagement, promote public enlightenment and communicate the administration’s achievements to citizens.
He explained that the support groups constitute an important component of Masari’s broader strategy to connect the government with communities, political stakeholders, youths and other interest groups nationwide.
The presidential aide, according to Potiskum, has also developed an extensive range of programmes and initiatives designed to support the Tinubu administration’s development agenda, with particular attention to public awareness, political engagement and grassroots participation.
Beyond political mobilisation, Potiskum highlighted Masari’s commitment to youth and women empowerment, noting that several opportunities and empowerment initiatives had been made available to these groups through his engagements.
He maintained that empowering young people and women remains an important aspect of building an inclusive society, adding that Masari recognises the need to create opportunities that enable them to contribute meaningfully to national development.
Potiskum further described Masari as a political figure who has consistently demonstrated loyalty and commitment to President Tinubu, particularly in efforts to sustain political relationships, mobilise support and communicate the administration’s vision to Nigerians.
His comments underscore the importance of political coordination, grassroots engagement and effective communication in strengthening the relationship between the government and the people.
Hon. Ibrahim Kabir Masari currently serves as Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Political Affairs, having previously served as Senior Special Assistant to the President on the same portfolio. His elevation was officially announced by the Presidency in March 2026.
As the country approaches another electoral cycle, Potiskum’s account places considerable emphasis on the role of political networks, public enlightenment and empowerment initiatives in Masari’s approach to supporting the Tinubu administration.
