…As Bature Sets Plateau APC On Victory Path, Says Every Member Is A Campaign Director
Plateau State Governor, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, has inaugurated the APC State Campaign Council for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and himself, with a declaration that there is no vacancy at the Plateau Government House, Little Rayfield, in 2027.
The Governor, who serves as Chairman of the Council, performed the inauguration on Monday, 2nd November, 2026, at the Victoria Gowon Hall, New Government House, Little Rayfield, Jos South Local Government Area.
He charged party leaders, stakeholders and members of the newly inaugurated Tinubu/Shettima and Mutfwang/Piyo 2027 Campaign Council to close ranks and intensify grassroots mobilisation to secure victory for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Governor Mutfwang expressed confidence that Plateau State will deliver a resounding victory for President Tinubu and his administration in the January 16, 2027 general elections, reaffirming his commitment to the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
He urged Nigerians to exercise patience with the Federal Government’s economic reforms, noting that the Tinubu administration inherited serious economic challenges that required difficult but necessary decisions.
“When President Tinubu assumed office in 2023, Nigeria was confronted with dwindling foreign reserves, foreign exchange difficulties, fuel scarcity, mounting debts and an unsustainable petrol subsidy regime,” Mutfwang said.
According to him, the Federal Government has recorded progress in addressing some of the challenges, particularly fuel availability and management of external reserves, while acknowledging that the adjustment process has imposed hardship on citizens.
He maintained that the benefits of reforms cannot materialize overnight and appealed to Nigerians not to abandon the process midway.
Using the analogy of a journey, the Governor cautioned against changing leadership in the middle of reforms, insisting that continuity would allow Nigerians to benefit from sacrifices already made and consolidate ongoing reforms.
He highlighted Federal Government interventions in transportation and education, including metropolitan buses, railway improvements, reduced tuition fees, increased student allowances and the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), as measures aimed at easing citizens’ burden.
On power rotation, Governor Mutfwang advocated respect for the understanding between the North and South, stressing that political commitments and established arrangements should be honoured for national stability and mutual trust.
“There is no vacancy at Little Rayfield. Plateau people will renew our mandate alongside that of President Tinubu in 2027,” he declared.
Mutfwang, however, emphasized that success at the polls will depend on grassroots mobilization, noting that elections are won at polling units and not by appointments.
He therefore urged members of the campaign council to return to their communities, wards, local government areas and constituencies to mobilize, engage the electorate and communicate the achievements of the APC-led administrations.
He assured that the campaign will be peaceful and responsible, saying Plateau, known as the Home of Peace and Tourism, must not allow politics to create division.
*Bature: This Is More Than Inauguration, It Is A Victory March*
Earlier, APC State Chairman, Plateau State, Hon. Rufus Bature, described the inauguration as a significant political milestone, representing the commencement of a coordinated and purposeful journey toward the 2027 elections.
Bature said the alignment represented by the Tinubu/Shettima and Mutfwang/Piyo ticket has created an opportunity to strengthen structures, consolidate stakeholder relationships and mobilize the electorate around a common objective.
“The APC must remain organized, responsive and firmly rooted in the grassroots. Political strength is not measured merely by number of appointments but by effective communication, democratic participation and confidence of the people,” he said.
He urged members not to feel excluded if their names were not in the initial list, explaining that the campaign structure was designed for broader participation.
“Every party faithful should consider himself a Director in this campaign project, regardless of designation. The responsibility of securing victory rests on everyone,” Bature stressed.
The APC Chairman highlighted developmental strides under the Mutfwang administration in healthcare, education and infrastructure, alongside Federal Government-supported road projects in the state, and charged stakeholders to take the message to their communities.
He called for total commitment toward the re-election of President Tinubu, Governor Mutfwang, National Assembly and State House of Assembly members, warning against indiscipline and activities capable of undermining the party’s collective interest.
*115 Support Groups Already On Board — DG*
In his goodwill message, the Director-General of the Campaign Council, Sir Joseph Ari, thanked Governor Mutfwang for the confidence reposed in him and other members, promising to justify it with dedication, discipline and teamwork.
Ari disclosed that the council has already received expressions of support from 115 support groups, alongside solidarity visits from traditional rulers, religious leaders, women, youths and organized stakeholders.
He assured that the campaign will be issue-based, factual and inclusive, devoid of bitterness, blackmail and acrimony.
He announced that the composition of various campaign directorates will be concluded and made public in the coming days, with strategy anchored on grassroots mobilization.
Ari therefore called on Plateau residents and APC faithful to turn out en masse on November 14th, 2026, to receive President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda Goshwe, and other national leaders during the presidential campaign visit to Plateau State.
The inauguration, which brought together political leaders, party stalwarts and council members, signals the commencement of full political mobilisation in Plateau State ahead of the 2027 general elections.
