Former Plateau State governors Simon Lalong and Joshua Dariye, and other prominent political leaders and stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state chapter, have promised to mobilise massively for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu in next year’s presidential election.
Endorsing President Tinubu’s re-election in the 2027 poll, the stakeholders pledged to rally the support of the electorate for the ruling party across the state.
Organised under the umbrella of Arewa for Asiwaju (A4A), its leaders comprise former governors, former ministers, former senators, members of the House of Representatives, former commissioners and local government chairmen.
The statement by Edwin Olofu, Head, Media Relations, Arewa for Asiwaju (A4A), disclosed that the endorsement was made at a high-level stakeholders’ meeting held in Jos, the Plateau State capital.
The participants, according to the statement, unanimously adopted President Tinubu, the Plateau State governor and other APC candidates for the forthcoming elections through a voice vote.

The engagement, chaired by the Deputy Chairman of the Board of Trustees of A4A and former governor of Plateau State, Senator Simon Lalong, also resolved to work towards ensuring that the APC secured victory in all elective positions in the state.
Lalong, who spoke during the meeting, noted: “The stakeholders were convinced that President Tinubu was committed to Nigeria’s development. His continued leadership would guarantee accelerated socio-economic growth and national transformation.”
Equally, former Plateau State governor Joshua Dariye commended the Tinubu-led administration for its contributions to Plateau State and the country at large, maintaining that President Tinubu deserved another term to consolidate on the achievements of his administration.
In his remarks, the Director-General of A4A and former governor of Jigawa State, Muhammad Badaru Abubakar, urged “Northern Nigeria to reciprocate the spirit of equity, fairness and political inclusion by giving President Tinubu overwhelming support in 2027.”
While expressing satisfaction with the commitment demonstrated by the Plateau political stakeholders, Badaru described their endorsement as a significant step towards strengthening the APC’s electoral prospects in the state and across Northern Nigeria.
“The political commitment demonstrated at the meeting would translate into millions of votes for President Tinubu and other APC candidates in the 2027 general elections,” he noted.
