2027: Yilwatda tasks North Central APC leaders to unite for Tinubu’s Re-election

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, has charged governors, governorship candidates and party leaders across the North Central region to unite political stakeholders and mobilise massive support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

Yilwatda gave the directive at the APC presidential campaign rally held at Zaria Road Stadium in Jos, Plateau State, where President Tinubu received an enthusiastic reception from party leaders, supporters and residents.

In a statement issued on November 14, 2026, by his Special Adviser on Media and Information Strategy, Abimbola Tooki, the APC chairman expressed satisfaction with the turnout and what he described as a renewed spirit of unity among party members in Plateau State.

He urged APC leaders to sustain the momentum generated by the rally and translate the enthusiasm into votes for Tinubu and other party candidates in the forthcoming elections.

According to Yilwatda, the party must put aside personal interests and political differences to achieve a common objective of securing victory across the North Central region.

He also declared that APC leaders in Plateau State were united behind the President, expressing confidence that the support demonstrated at the rally would be reflected at the polls.

Describing Tinubu as a promise keeper, the APC chairman said the President had fulfilled commitments made to Plateau State, adding that the administration’s record provided a basis for renewed public confidence.

A major highlight of the rally was the presentation of APC flags to the party’s governorship candidates across the North Central states, a move intended to reinforce party unity and strengthen its structures ahead of the 2027 elections.

Yilwatda specifically called on APC leaders in Plateau State to consolidate the unity achieved and intensify mobilisation for Tinubu and all party candidates.

In Benue State, he urged the governor and party leaders to harmonise competing interests, unite stakeholders and mobilise voters for the party.

For Niger State, the APC chairman expressed confidence that the party’s leadership would use the flag presentation as a rallying point to strengthen cohesion and secure victory for Tinubu and other APC candidates.

He also charged the party’s governorship candidate in Nasarawa State, alongside other leaders, to provide purposeful leadership, unite stakeholders and mobilise support for the President while pursuing peace, prosperity and development.

The APC chairman further urged party structures, elected officials, candidates and grassroots mobilisers across the region to intensify engagement with voters and ensure that the enthusiasm witnessed in Jos translates into electoral gains.

“Our strength lies in our unity, our strategy is effective mobilisation, and our destination is victory,” Yilwatda said.

He added that the Jos rally had demonstrated what the party could achieve through collective action, urging leaders to take their message to communities across the region.

Yilwatda reaffirmed the APC’s commitment to securing victory for Tinubu and all its candidates in 2027, assuring party members that the mobilisation drive would continue.

However, the party’s ability to translate the rally’s turnout into electoral support will depend on sustained grassroots engagement and the capacity of its leaders to maintain unity across the region.
