Prominent Plateau State political leaders have thrown their weight behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid, pledging massive mobilisation to secure victory for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.
The endorsement was announced at a high-level APC stakeholders’ meeting in Jos, where participants unanimously adopted Tinubu, Governor Caleb Mutfwang and other APC candidates through a voice vote.
The meeting, chaired by former Plateau State Governor and Deputy Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Arewa for Asiwaju (A4A), Senator Simon Lalong, brought together former governors, ministers, senators, federal lawmakers, commissioners and former local government chairmen.
The stakeholders also resolved to unite behind the APC and ensure the party sweeps all elective positions in Plateau State in 2027.
Lalong said the leaders were convinced that Tinubu remained committed to Nigeria’s development, expressing confidence that another term would accelerate economic growth and national transformation.
Former Plateau Governor, Chief Joshua Dariye, also praised the Tinubu administration’s contributions to the state and the country, saying the President deserved another term to consolidate his achievements.
In a major mobilisation push, A4A Director-General and former Jigawa State Governor, Muhammad Badaru Abubakar, urged Northern Nigeria to reciprocate what he described as Tinubu’s commitment to equity, fairness and political inclusion with overwhelming electoral support.
Badaru commended Plateau stakeholders for their political commitment, describing the endorsement as a boost to the APC’s chances in the state and across the North.
He expressed optimism that the unity forged at the meeting would translate into millions of votes for Tinubu and other APC candidates in 2027.
The former governor said A4A would intensify grassroots mobilisation and strengthen its political structures to deliver victory for the President.
The meeting reaffirmed the group’s commitment to sustained political engagement and coordinated mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general elections.
