  "account": "In Jalingo, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Taraba State has declared its commitment to mobilising voters and ensuring President Bola Tinubu and other party candidates receive victory in the 2027 general election. This stance contrasts with the Rainbow Coalition, a multi-party platform spearheaded by Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, aimed at securing APC's sole victory in the presidential election. APC state chairman, Alhaji Abubakar Bawa, made this assertion during the inauguration of the state chapter of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, a campaign group dedicated to garnering grassroots support for the Tinubu-Shettima ticket in 2027. Bawa expressed confidence in the party's prospects in the state and assured the leadership that their structures would work towards delivering party candidates at every election level. The announcement coincided with the movement's initiation of a door-to-door campaign to disseminate the APC's message to households, communities, churches, and mosques throughout the state. During the event, Hon. Danladi Baido, Director-General of the Tinubu/Shettima campaign organisation in Taraba State, highlighted the party's intention to build upon its 2023 presidential election performance. Baido noted that Taraba ranked third among North-east states in the 2023 presidential election and pledged to mobilise significant support for the APC in 2027. Tompolo, the founder and convener of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, urged citizens to support Tinubu for a second term, emphasising that continuity is crucial for consolidating the administration's reforms. He argued that federal government policies require time to yield lasting results, suggesting that another term for Tinubu would also allow Governor Agbu Kefas to continue implementing his development agenda in the state. Governor Kefas endorsed the mobilisation drive, stating that the people of Taraba are already experiencing the effects of the Tinubu administration through the execution of various projects and programmes. He assured the audience that his administration would continue to carry out and commission development initiatives across the state. Hon. Comrade Adekanbi Sunday Asuku, the national coordinator of the movement, arrived in Taraba to solicit voters' support for Tinubu and Kefas. Asuku urged supporters to intensify grassroots mobilisation, promising to take the campaign from \"door to door, church to church, mosque to mosque, home to home and local government to local government.\" He also credited the APC administration for improvements in security in Taraba and called for continued backing of the party.",
