According to Governor Caleb Mutfwang, there won’t be any opposition to his party in Plateau State by the general elections of 2027.
Following Rufus Bature’s election as the state’s All Progressives Congress (APC) chairman, the governor made the statement on Tuesday in Jos.
According to Naija News, Bature and other state executive committee members were chosen by consensus.
Following the exercise, Mutfwang said he was confident the party would continue to rule the Plateau before the 2027 elections.
By God’s grace, we will only run for office among ourselves in 2027. The governor declared that there would be no resistance in the Plateau.
He went on to say that the state’s citizens have continued to show faith in the party’s policies and leadership.
“I think the people of Plateau have faith in us and will stick with us because they understand that we are doing in their best interests. We shall use this chance to improve the lives of the state’s citizens. “Now is the moment to bring Plateau together,” he said.
Demands Reconciliation and Unity
The governor described the APC as a family whose internal conflicts must not jeopardize its common goal and emphasized the importance of unity, tolerance, and healing inside the party.
He assured members that all unresolved matters would be resolved peacefully in the party’s best interests, even if he acknowledged that some issues still needed to be handled.
He urged Bature and the other state executive committee members to stick with the party, the president, and the people of Plateau State while congratulating them.
Additionally, Mutfwang announced a one-month statewide recruitment drive in which each registered member was instructed to find ten or more new members.
“As party evangelists, it is your responsibility to reach every corner of the state and convince more individuals to join us. Plateau State will benefit more from a larger and more powerful party, he claimed.
Noting that both a strong party structure and successful grassroots mobilization are necessary for electoral success, he also urged members to support the party’s e-membership registration project.
Bature praised party leaders and delegates for their faith in him and his team during his acceptance speech.
He promised to work hard to live up to the expectations of party members throughout the state, describing his re-election as both an honor and a responsibility.
The election of three senators, 23 members of the Plateau State House of Assembly, eight members of the House of Representatives, 17 local government chairmen, and 325 council members on the APC platform were among the accomplishments noted by Bature during his previous term.
In order to guarantee accountability and long-term electoral success in the state, he reassured members that the party leadership will continue to offer helpful supervision and assistance.
