The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, has called on governors, governorship candidates and party leaders across the North Central region to close ranks, unite political stakeholders and mobilise support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
Yilwatda made the call at the APC presidential campaign rally held at Azaria Road Stadium, Jos, Plateau State, where he urged party leaders to put aside personal interests and political differences to pursue a common goal of securing victory for the party in the forthcoming elections.
According to an official statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Information Strategy, Abimbola Tooki, the APC chairman expressed satisfaction with the massive turnout and display of unity among party leaders and supporters in Plateau State, describing the rally as a demonstration of growing cohesion within the party.
He charged APC leaders across the region to ensure that every stakeholder was carried along in their respective states, stressing that unity and effective mobilisation would be critical to the party’s electoral performance in 2027.
Yilwatda particularly urged the people of Plateau State to translate the enthusiasm demonstrated at the rally into votes, declaring that the state must deliver a record-breaking victory for President Tinubu.
He also assured the President that political leaders in Plateau State were now fully united behind his re-election, adding that the support demonstrated by party members would be reflected at the ballot box.
Describing Tinubu as a promise keeper, the APC national chairman said the President had fulfilled his commitments to Plateau State, noting that the administration’s record of delivery provided a basis for renewed public confidence and 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 determination to strengthen internal cohesion, consolidate its political structures and secure victory at all levels.
Yilwatda urged the Benue State governor and party leaders to harmonise competing interests, unite political stakeholders and mobilise the electorate for the APC.
In Niger State, he expressed confidence in the party’s leadership, urging stakeholders to use the presentation of the party flag as a rallying point to unite members and mobilise support for Tinubu and other APC candidates.
Similarly, he charged the Nasarawa State governorship candidate and party leaders to provide purposeful leadership, unite stakeholders and mobilise support for the President, while working towards greater prosperity, peace and development in the state.
He maintained that the North Central region must approach the forthcoming elections with a common purpose, insisting that personal interests and political differences must give way to the collective objective of the party.
The APC chairman further urged party structures, elected officials, candidates and grassroots mobilisers to intensify engagement with the electorate and take the party’s message to communities 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 assured party members and supporters that the APC would sustain its mobilisation drive, strengthen its structures and work collectively towards securing victory for Tinubu and all its candidates in the 2027 general elections.
