Yilwatda Rallies North Central APC, Demands Solid Groundwork For Tinubu’s 2027 Victory

​JOS — The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Professor Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, has tasked governors, standard-bearers, and critical stakeholders across the North Central zone to close ranks and build an impenetrable grassroots coalition to guarantee a landslide victory for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the January 16, 2027 presidential election.

​Professor Yilwatda issued the rallying cry at the high-stakes APC presidential campaign mega-rally hosted at the historic Zaria Road Stadium in Jos, Plateau State. The event drew a massive and vibrant sea of party stalwarts, faithful supporters, and residents who turned out to welcome the President’s campaign train.

​A Call for Absolute Cohesion

​According to a statement released by his Special Adviser on Media and Information Strategy, Abimbola Tooki, the APC National Chairman expressed profound delight at the electric turnout and the palpable atmosphere of reconciliation among Plateau party heavyweights. He hailed the convergence as an unmistakable testament to the party’s reinvigorated internal harmony and unwavering commitment to President Tinubu’s second-term mandate.

​”Our strength lies in our unity, our strategy is effective mobilisation, and our destination is victory and nothing less than victory,” Professor Yilwatda declared emphatically to the cheering crowd.

​Charging the electorate in Plateau State, the National Chairman urged them to convert the overwhelming physical enthusiasm witnessed at the stadium into massive ballot numbers, insisting that the state must post a record-breaking electoral margin for the incumbent president. He noted that political actors across the state have achieved a 100 percent alignment behind the presidency, assuring that the ballot boxes will mirror this profound grassroots confidence.

​Zone-Wide Mandate and Flag Presentations

​Highlighting the strategic importance of the North Central zone, Professor Yilwatda extended his mobilisation directives beyond Plateau, laying out clear regional blueprints:

• ​Benue State: The National Chairman called on the state governor and party leaders to harmonize disparate interests, bridge local divides, and rally the electorate behind a unified progressive front.
• ​Niger State: Expressing strong faith in the local executive structure, he challenged leadership to leverage the party’s symbols as a unifying instrument to cement total loyalty to the Tinubu ticket.
• ​Nasarawa State: While presenting the official APC flag to the governorship flagbearer, he tasked local leaders with providing visionary guidance, solidifying stakeholder synergy, and steering the populace toward sustained peace and economic development.

​The presentation of party flags to governorship candidates across the North Central states served as the centerpiece of the Jos rally, symbolizing the ruling party’s calculated push to consolidate political structures from the grassroots up to the national level ahead of the 2027 polls.

​Reiterating the administration’s scorecard, Professor Yilwatda described President Tinubu as a quintessential promise-keeper who has faithfully honoured commitments made to Plateau State and the wider region. He maintained that tangible federal interventions and inclusive governance have established a formidable foundation for renewed public trust.

​The mega-rally was graced by top-tier dignitaries, including Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas, and other prominent national and regional leaders, underscoring the ruling party’s concerted resolve to sweep the geo-political zone.
