Governor Mutfwang called on Plateau residents to turn out in large numbers to welcome Tinubu, describing him as a statesman who had demonstrated commitment to the development and security of the state.
“I met a broadcast yesterday asking Plateau people to come out and welcome the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. A lover of Plateau and a true statesman who has demonstrated that he wants to be of help to us on the Plateau,” the governor said.

Mutfwang noted that the state had benefited from federal government support in infrastructure development and security management, adding that these contributions informed the decision to organise a grand reception for the President.

“We have seen his hand in infrastructure and we’ve seen his support in terms of security management, and that’s why we’ve gone all the way out to see that we have a grand reception for him,” he said.

Also speaking, APC National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, commended the governor and the Presidential Campaign Council for coordinating preparations for what he described as a hitch-free event.
Yilwatda said preparations covering the rally venue, security arrangements, airport logistics and traffic management were progressing satisfactorily.

“The preparation is top-notch, and I’m impressed with what I’ve seen in terms of the venue preparation, security, airport, street mapping and everything is excellent. I expect that tomorrow will be a wow on the Plateau,” he said.

The APC national chairman also expressed confidence in the party’s capacity to mobilise substantial electoral support for Tinubu, citing its political structures and the presence of prominent political figures in its ranks.

According to him, the party has the membership strength and organisational capacity required to secure strong electoral backing for the President.

“We have the structure and the number, and everybody you can think of on the Plateau is APC. All the former governors, deputy governors, speakers are all in APC, so we have the number to support Mr President and give him a very good vote,” Yilwatda said.

The rally is expected to bring together APC leaders, elected officials, party faithful and supporters from Plateau State and other parts of the North-Central region.
