Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang has committed to providing substantial electoral backing for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the January 16, 2027, presidential election. During the All Progressives Congress (APC) North-Central campaign rally at Zaria Road Stadium in Jos, Mutfwang emphasized the need to reciprocate the President’s efforts in addressing Nigeria’s economic challenges.
Mutfwang likened the country’s situation at Tinubu’s assumption of office to a patient in intensive care, asserting that the President’s policies are beginning to show positive outcomes. He stated, “You met Nigeria in an intensive care unit. You have ministered policies, and now we are recovering.” He expressed appreciation for Tinubu’s commitment to Plateau State, noting improvements in critical areas such as infrastructure, healthcare, and security.
The governor underscored the state’s determination to ensure that “for the 2027 election, it is Tinubu or nothing,” and stated that residents are prepared to deliver unprecedented support. He also called for federal assistance to facilitate the resettlement of displaced individuals affected by security challenges, stressing the importance of rebuilding communities.
Mutfwang further urged Tinubu to support the completion of the long-standing Zaria Road Stadium project, enhancing its facilities to international standards, and highlighted his administration’s efforts to improve public transportation by increasing the bus fleet.
In response, President Tinubu assured residents of Plateau that the Federal Government would collaborate with the state to rehabilitate areas affected by insurgency, reinforcing his commitment to national unity and shared prosperity. The rally also featured notable attendance from Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and other prominent APC leaders.
