The Renewed Hope Ambassadors and other support groups loyal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, on Tuesday staged a massive solidarity walk and campaign rally across Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State to mobilize grassroots support for President Tinubu, Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, and all APC candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The well-attended rally, which drew youth, women, elders, party stakeholders and supporters from across the LGA, was led by Hon. Shehu Bala Usman, former Chairman of Jos North LGA and Director of Logistics Support, Renewed Hope Ambassadors, alongside renowned grassroots mobilizer, Alhaji Muhammad Kutigi, and other APC leaders.
Addressing supporters during the walk, Hon. Shehu Bala Usman said the massive turnout was a clear demonstration of the confidence the people have in the leadership of President Tinubu and Governor Mutfwang.
According to him, “The people are here because they believe in the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and the governance and administration of Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang. That is why we are here to gather grassroots support, to walk a little bit to show that the youth and the old are all here. Even during the election, the old will come out to vote for them massively.”
He stated that the objective of the walk was to consolidate grassroots support to ensure a clean sweep for the APC from top to bottom.
“We are here to gather grassroots support for Mr. President and our Governor from the grassroots so that we’ll have it 5/5. And that is from the President, the Governor, to the House of Representatives, the two Houses of Assembly and the Senate. That’s what we are doing,” he said.
In a separate interview, Hon. Usman, who also served as Chairman of the Organizing Committee, disclosed that the solidarity walk was organized under the APC umbrella and was sponsored and mobilized by Alhaji Muhammad Kutigi to demonstrate support for all APC principals.
“This walk is to show solidarity to our President, our Governor, the Senator, House of Representatives and House of Assembly members under the APC. This program is being sponsored and mobilized by Alhaji Muhammad Kutigi. We are here to generate grassroots support so that by the end of the day, when the opposition sees the votes, they will know that we are actually on ground,” he said.
On why Nigerians should re-elect the APC in 2027, Hon. Usman pointed to the reform policies of the Tinubu administration, particularly in infrastructure and the economy.
“Because of the legacies and policies of Mr. President. You can see Mr. President has a lot of reform policies. What we need is a little patience to assimilate the new policies. Give Mr. President a second chance and his lieutenants — the Governor, House of Reps, State Assembly and Senate — so they will work closely to deliver this nation. The recent dual carriage roads constructed by the Federal Government from Abuja and other parts will ease economic activities and check insecurity,” he noted.
Expressing confidence in the party’s chances, he added: “When you look at the crowd here, this is only Jos North, and I’m sure President Tinubu will get more than 1 million votes in Plateau. Not only Mr. President, the Governor and other candidates will also get massive votes in their respective constituencies.”
Also speaking at the event, the Executive Chairman of Jos North LGA, Hon. JK Chris, said there were many reasons to rally round President Tinubu and Governor Mutfwang.
“Mr. President has done so much, he has done wonderfully well for us. Especially His Excellency, Barr. Caleb Mutfwang — he is a Governor that loves the people of Plateau. He is a Governor that gives us our full autonomy as far as local government is concerned. We are able to deliver dividends of democracy at the grassroots. The people at the grassroots are feeling the government, and all is because of the disposition of Mr. President to grant autonomy to every local government,” JK Chris said.
He commended Alhaji Muhammad Kutigi for his support, saying the people of Jos North were out to show love for Mr. President and the Governor and to support all APC candidates in a 5/5 victory.
On his part, Alhaji Muhammad Kutigi, a grassroots mobilizer and sponsor of the rally, promised 5/5 victory for President Tinubu and Governor Mutfwang in 2027, stressing that the rally was necessary to create more awareness and showcase the achievements of the administration.
“We are ready, Jos North is ready to vote 5/5 for Mr. President and Governor Mutfwang,” Kutigi declared.
The rally was also attended by the Deputy Chairman of Jos North, Hon. Kabiru Garkuwa, and other notable APC stakeholders and party faithful.
