The appointment was announced in a statement issued on Thursday by the President’s spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga.
According to the statement, Masari will work alongside Alhaji Yau Darazo, who was appointed to the same role by the President in July 2023.
Masari had earlier been appointed in 2023 as Senior Special Assistant on Political Affairs before his elevation to the position of Special Adviser.
The Katsina-born politician previously served as Welfare Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) during the tenure of Senator Adams Oshiomhole as the party’s national chairman.
His new role is expected to strengthen political coordination and engagement within the administration. (Arise News)
