Plateau to deliver one million votes for Tinubu, says Nentawe

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has expressed confidence that Plateau State will deliver more than one million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general elections, citing the party’s expanding influence and the weakening of opposition structures in the state.

Nentawe made the declaration on Tuesday during an APC stakeholders’ meeting for the Pankshin, Kanke and Kanam (PKK) Federal Constituency, held at the MNS Resort Hotel in Pankshin.

According to him, the APC is now significantly stronger in Plateau than it was during the 2023 elections, noting that political forces that once posed stiff opposition to the party have since aligned with it.

“All the stumbling blocks we had in 2023 are no longer there. Those who opposed us then have joined us now, including the governor of Plateau State, Barrister Caleb Mutfwang, commissioners, local government chairmen and other political appointees,” he said.

“Come 2027, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will record some of his highest votes here, both in numbers and in percentage. There is no ward, no polling unit in PKK that we will not win. Politics is a game of numbers, and our target is over one million votes,” he declared.

Nentawe attributed the party’s growing strength to the influx of key political actors, noting that the APC now boasts the governor, the national chairman, most members of the National Assembly, the majority of the state legislature, commissioners and local government chairmen.

He also pledged to stop publicly criticising Governor Mutfwang, saying party unity now provides him with direct access to influence governance through engagement rather than opposition.

Addressing concerns over new entrants into the party, Nentawe assured members that no group would hijack the APC, urging party leaders to welcome defectors across wards and local governments.
