The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has urged governors, governorship candidates and party leaders across the North-Central region to unite and intensify mobilisation ahead of President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid.
Yilwatda made the call at the APC presidential campaign rally held at Azaria Road Stadium in Jos, Plateau State, where party leaders, supporters and residents turned out to receive the President’s campaign train.
He expressed satisfaction with the turnout and what he described as renewed unity among APC stakeholders in Plateau State, urging party members to sustain the momentum and translate their enthusiasm into votes.
The APC chairman 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 as part of efforts to strengthen its political structures ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Yilwatda urged APC leaders in Plateau, Benue, Niger and Nasarawa states to set aside personal interests, reconcile differences and unite stakeholders behind the party’s candidates.
In Plateau State, he called on party leaders to consolidate existing unity and mobilise support for Tinubu and other APC candidates. He also urged the leadership in Benue and Niger states to harmonise competing interests and use the party’s structures to secure electoral victory.
Presenting the party’s flag to its Nasarawa State governorship candidate, Wadada, Yilwatda urged him and other stakeholders to provide purposeful leadership and mobilise support for the President.
He stressed that the North-Central region must approach the 2027 elections with a common purpose, calling on elected officials, candidates and grassroots mobilisers to intensify engagement with voters.
“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 assured party members that the APC would sustain its mobilisation efforts and strengthen its structures to secure victory for Tinubu and other party candidates in the 2027 general elections.
