Jos Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang inaugurated the All Progressives Congress (APC) Campaign Council for the 2027 general election on Monday. Mutfwang called for a peaceful, issue-based, and disciplined campaign to secure victory for President Bola Tinubu, Vice-President Kashim Shettima, and all APC candidates in the state.
Speaking at the ceremony held at Government House, Rayfield, Jos, the governor highlighted the progress made in key sectors during his administration and requested a second term to further consolidate ongoing projects and programs.
Mutfwang emphasized his commitment to addressing insecurity, outlining plans to facilitate the return of internally displaced persons, deploy 800 trained forest guards, and reinstate Operation Rainbow personnel. He also defended the economic reforms under the Tinubu administration, stating that the country requires time to recover from fiscal challenges. Mutfwang highlighted state interventions, including Tin City Metro buses, restored rail services, reduced tuition fees, and increased student allowances.
Calling for unity within the party, Mutfwang urged the campaign council members to intensify grassroots mobilization, stressing that electoral victories are won at polling units rather than in political centers. Earlier, Joseph Ari, the Director-General of the Mutfwang/Piyo 2027 Governorship Campaign Council, pledged a disciplined, issue-based, and inclusive campaign.
He revealed that 115 support groups had already indicated their support for the project, praising the administration's 'Time Is Now' policy direction focused on unity, mutual respect, and development. Ari described peaceful coexistence as essential for sustainable progress in Plateau State.
Rufus Bature, Plateau APC Chairman, described the inauguration as a significant step towards building a strong structure for the 2027 elections. He charged the council members to work diligently to ensure the party's success in the upcoming contest.
