Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has promised President Bola Tinubu overwhelming electoral support in the January 16, 2027 presidential election, expressing confidence in the direction of the current administration.
Titiansloaded reports that Mutfwang made the commitment on Saturday at the All Progressives Congress (APC) North-Central presidential campaign rally held at Zaria Road Stadium in Jos.
He credited Tinubu with taking difficult decisions to address Nigeria’s economic challenges, describing the country’s condition before the President assumed office as comparable to that of a critically ill patient.
According to the governor, the administration’s economic measures are beginning to produce encouraging outcomes, giving Nigerians reasons to anticipate further improvements.
Addressing the President and APC supporters, Mutfwang said Plateau had benefited from federal government initiatives in road construction, healthcare, security and other important areas of development.
He described Tinubu as a leader who had shown interest in the welfare of Plateau residents and the wider North-Central region.
The governor said the state intended to demonstrate its appreciation through its voting strength at the next presidential election, promising an unprecedented level of support for the APC candidate.
Mutfwang declared that the people of Plateau had made their political choice ahead of the 2027 polls, insisting that Tinubu would receive their backing.
He also praised the Federal Government’s security interventions, expressing hope that ongoing operations would weaken insurgency and allow communities affected by violence to regain stability.
However, he called for additional federal assistance to enable displaced residents to return to their ancestral communities.
The governor stressed that restoring peace would require more than security operations, noting that rebuilding destroyed settlements and helping affected families recover their livelihoods were equally important.
On sporting infrastructure, Mutfwang appealed to Tinubu to assist with the completion and modernisation of Zaria Road Stadium, which he said was conceived approximately four decades ago.
He called for the facility to be upgraded to international standards, giving Plateau the capacity to host major sporting competitions.
The governor also highlighted efforts by his administration to improve public transportation, revealing that additional buses had been introduced to make movement easier for residents.
Responding to the requests, Tinubu assured the people that his government would collaborate with the Plateau administration to reconstruct communities affected by insurgency.
The President also reiterated his commitment to national cohesion, peace and economic prosperity.
Several senior government officials and APC leaders attended the rally, including Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio and First Lady Oluremi Tinubu.
Others present were APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda, alongside party stakeholders and supporters from different states across the North-Central region.
