By Polycarp Auta

Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Sen. Godswill Akpabio, the President of the Senate have expressed optimism that President Bola Tinubu will win the 2027 general elections with a landslide victory.

Akpabio and Yilwatda said this at an event organised to formally receive Gov. Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau into the APC on Tuesday in Jos.

According to them, Tinubu has done well in tackling insecurity, poverty, and improving the economy, hence he deserves to be re-elected in 2027.

“Our president is doing well in addressing security challenges and ensuring lasting peace in Nigeria.

“He is doing everything to eradicate poverty through skills development and improved economy; the president means well for Nigerians.

“This is why today the governors are comfortably paying salaries and carrying out steady infrastructure development.

“With this, the re-election bid of the president in 2027 is a done deal; he will win with a landslide victory,” Yilwatda said

Yilwatda particularly commended Mutfwang for taking the bold step to join the ruling party, adding that the move would breed more development and ensure a united Plateau.

He further noted that with the coming of Mutfwang into the party, the number of governors in APC’s fold had increased to 29.

“Today as I welcome my elder brother and senior to the APC, let me inform us that with this move, we now have 29 governors in the party,” he said.

Also speaking, Akpabio described the Tinubu-led all-inclusive devoid of tribal religious and regional sentiments.

Akpabio said that with the ongoing developmental strides of the current administration, the president deserved another term to complete the good works that he had started.

The senate president, who congratulated Mutfwang for joining the APC, pledged the support of the senate in the governor’s fight against insecurity and in ensuring displaced persons in the state returned to their original places of abode.

“I believe strongly that with this move, unity has returned to the plateau; I believe with this move, IDPs on the Plateau will return to their homes very soon.

“So I want to let you know that the National Assembly will do everything to appropriate funds to enable you return your people who are in IDP camps back to their villages.

“This administration will do everything possible to protect all religions, protect all Muslims and Christians alike; we will not allow anybody to be left behind,” Akpabio said.(NAN)
