Prominent political figures in Plateau State have declared support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027, pledging to mobilise voters across the state to secure victory for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The endorsement was announced at a high-level political stakeholders’ meeting organised by Arewa for Asiwaju (A4A) in Jos, the Plateau State capital, where participants also adopted the Plateau State Governor and other APC candidates for the forthcoming general elections.
A statement signed by Edwin Olofu, Head of Media Relations, A4A, on Friday, said the meeting, which attracted former governors, ministers, senators, members of the House of Representatives, former commissioners and local government chairmen, unanimously endorsed the candidates through a voice vote.
The gathering was chaired by Senator Simon Lalong, former Governor of Plateau State and Deputy Chairman of the A4A Board of Trustees.
Speaking at the meeting, Lalong said the stakeholders were convinced that Tinubu remained committed to Nigeria’s development, expressing confidence that another term would accelerate socio-economic growth and national transformation.
Also speaking, former Plateau State Governor, Chief Joshua Dariye, commended the Tinubu administration for what he described as its contributions to the development of Plateau State and Nigeria.
Dariye argued that the President deserved another term to consolidate on the achievements of his administration.
In his remarks, the Director-General of A4A and former Governor of Jigawa State, Muhammad Badaru Abubakar, called on Northern Nigerians to demonstrate political fairness and reciprocity by supporting Tinubu’s re-election bid.
Badaru said the region should reciprocate what he described as the President’s spirit of equity, fairness and political inclusion by giving him overwhelming support in the 2027 elections.
He expressed satisfaction with the commitment demonstrated by Plateau political stakeholders, describing their endorsement as an important step towards strengthening the APC’s electoral prospects in the state and the wider Northern region.
The former Jigawa governor further expressed optimism that the political commitment demonstrated at the meeting would translate into millions of votes for Tinubu and other APC candidates in the 2027 general elections.
The stakeholders also resolved to intensify grassroots mobilisation, political engagement and coordinated campaigns to ensure the party’s success across all elective positions in Plateau State.
The meeting reaffirmed A4A’s commitment to sustaining political mobilisation and expanding support for the President and other APC candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections.
