The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, has urged governors, governorship candidates and party leaders across the North-Central region to unite stakeholders and mobilise support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
Yilwatda gave the charge at the APC presidential campaign rally held at Azaria Road Stadium, Jos, Plateau State, where President Tinubu received supporters, party leaders and residents.
In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Information Strategy, Abimbola Tooki, the APC chairman expressed satisfaction with the turnout and display of unity among party members, describing the rally as evidence of renewed cohesion within the party in Plateau State.
He urged residents to translate the enthusiasm demonstrated at the rally into votes, insisting that Plateau must deliver a record electoral victory for Tinubu.
Yilwatda declared that political leaders in the state were now united behind the President, assuring him that the people’s support would be reflected at the ballot.
He also described Tinubu as a promise keeper who had fulfilled his commitments to Plateau State, adding that the administration’s performance provided a basis for continued support.
A major highlight of the rally was the presentation of APC flags to the party’s governorship candidates across the North-Central states, symbolising the party’s efforts to strengthen its structures ahead of the 2027 elections.
Yilwatda charged APC governors and party leaders in Plateau, Benue, Niger and Nasarawa states to harmonise political interests, bring stakeholders together and intensify grassroots mobilisation for Tinubu and other party candidates.
He expressed confidence in the ability of party leaders in Niger State to use the APC flag as a rallying point for unity and electoral mobilisation.
In Nasarawa State, he urged the party’s governorship candidate and other leaders to provide purposeful leadership, unite stakeholders and pursue peace, prosperity and development.
The APC chairman stressed that the North-Central region must approach the elections with a common purpose, warning that personal interests and political differences should not undermine the party’s collective objectives.
He called on party structures, elected officials, candidates and grassroots mobilisers to intensify engagement with voters across the region.
“Our strength lies in our unity, our strategy is effective mobilisation, and our destination is victory. I therefore charge all our governors, governorship candidates and party leaders across the North-Central to unite every stakeholder in their respective states and work together to deliver maximum votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” he said.
Yilwatda added that the party must sustain the momentum generated by the Jos rally and take its campaign message to communities across the region.
He assured APC members that the party would continue to strengthen its structures and coordinate its mobilisation efforts ahead of the 2027 general elections.
