Governor Caleb Mutfwang declares a unified APC campaign in Plateau State for the 2027 general elections, targeting total victory.
Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang announced that the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is pursuing a single, unified campaign strategy for the upcoming 2027 general elections, rejecting any form of political alliances.
Speaking on Monday at the inauguration of the APC Campaign Council at the Government House in Little Rayfield, Jos, Governor Mutfwang emphasized that the party is marching forward under one collective agenda to secure victory at all levels of government.
The strategic political announcement sets the stage for a centralized electoral push in the region, according to information published by The Sun Nigeria.
Unified 2027 Agenda for Plateau State
Governor Mutfwang stated that the primary objective of the unified platform is the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima, alongside his own administration and all legislative candidates in the state and National Assembly.
He explicitly noted that the state is not running a Rainbow Coalition, asserting that the people of Plateau have firmly decided to move in one political direction under the banner of the ruling party for the 2027 polls.
Economic Reforms and National Challenges
Addressing current national hardships, Governor Mutfwang acknowledged the existence of hunger and insecurity but defended the federal administration, arguing that President Tinubu inherited an economy on the brink of collapse in 2023 with external reserves dropping to just over $3 billion.
He highlighted that decisive fiscal interventions, including the elimination of the fuel subsidy and the cessation of printing money, have successfully restored the country's external reserve to a healthy level of over $50 billion under the current administration.
Security Strategy and Grassroots Mobilization
On the pressing issue of security, the governor cautioned against expecting quick fixes or relying on simple television rhetoric, stating that safety requires sustained and intentional efforts rather than tap water solutions.
The Director-General of the APC Campaign Council in Plateau State, Joe Ari, assured stakeholders that the upcoming campaigns will heavily prioritize grassroots mobilization to ensure a comprehensive victory.
