Get Guardian on GooglePolitical leaders and stakeholders in Plateau State have adopted President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as their preferred candidate for the 2027 presidential election, pledging to mobilise massive support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) and secure victory across all elective positions in the state.
The endorsement was made at a high-level stakeholders’ meeting in Jos, the Plateau State capital, where former governors, ministers, senators, members of the House of Representatives, former commissioners and local government chairmen unanimously endorsed Tinubu, the Plateau State governor and other APC candidates for the forthcoming elections.
The meeting, chaired by former Plateau State Governor and Deputy Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Arewa for Asiwaju (A4A), Senator Simon Lalong, resolved to intensify political mobilisation and grassroots engagement to ensure the APC records an overwhelming victory in the state in 2027.
Speaking at the meeting, Lalong said the stakeholders were convinced that Tinubu remained committed to Nigeria’s development and that his continued leadership would guarantee accelerated socio-economic growth and national transformation.
He said the endorsement reflected the confidence of Plateau political leaders in the President’s leadership and their determination to work collectively towards the success of the APC in the forthcoming elections.
Also speaking, former Governor of Plateau State, Chief Joshua Dariye, commended the Tinubu administration for its contributions to Plateau State and the country at large.
Dariye maintained that the President deserved another term to consolidate the achievements of his administration, urging stakeholders to sustain their support for the APC ahead of the 2027 elections.
In his remarks, the Director-General of Arewa for Asiwaju and former Governor of Jigawa State, Muhammad Badaru Abubakar, called on Northern Nigerians to reciprocate what he described as the spirit of equity, fairness and political inclusion by giving Tinubu overwhelming support in 2027.
Badaru expressed satisfaction with the commitment demonstrated by Plateau political stakeholders, describing their endorsement as a significant step towards strengthening the APC’s electoral prospects in the state and across Northern Nigeria.
He said 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 former Jigawa governor urged the stakeholders to translate their endorsement into concrete political action through sustained grassroots mobilisation, effective coordination and engagement with voters across the state.
The meeting reaffirmed the commitment of A4A and its Plateau State stakeholders to sustained political mobilisation and coordinated efforts towards securing victory for the APC in the 2027 general elections.
