According to Governor Caleb Mutfwang, there won’t be any opposition to his party in Plateau State by the general elections in 2027.
Following Rufus Bature’s election as the state’s All Progressives Congress (APC) chairman, the governor made the statement in Jos on Tuesday.
It was understood that Bature and the other state executive committee members came to an agreement by consensus.
Speaking during the exercise, Mutfwang said he was confident the party would continue to rule the Plateau before the 2027 elections.
“By God’s grace, we shall only run for office among ourselves in 2027. The governor declared, “There won’t be any opposition in Plateau.”
He proceeded by saying that the state’s citizens have continued to show faith in the party’s policies and leadership.
Since they are aware that we are acting in their best interests, I think the people of Plateau will continue to support us. We shall make the most of this opportunity for the benefit of the state’s citizens. “Now is the time to bring Plateau together,” he said.
Demands for Reconciliation and Unity
The governor described the APC as a family whose internal disputes must not jeopardize its common goal and emphasized the importance of harmony, tolerance, and reconciliation inside the party.
He assured members that all unresolved matters would be handled amicably in the party’s best interests, even if he acknowledged that some issues still needed to be addressed.
He urged Bature and the other state executive committee members to stay faithful to the party, the president, and the Plateau State people while congratulating them.
Additionally, Mutfwang announced a one-month statewide recruitment drive in which each registered member was instructed to find at least ten new members.
“As party evangelists, it is your responsibility to reach every corner of the state and convince others to join us. The interests of Plateau State will be better served by a larger and more powerful party, he claimed.
Noting that both a strong party structure and successful grassroots mobilization are necessary for electoral success, he also urged members to support the party’s e-membership registration project.
Bature praised party leaders and delegates in his acceptance speech for their trust in him and his team.
He promised to work hard to live up to the expectations of party members throughout the state, characterizing his reelection as both an honor and a responsibility.
The election of three senators, 23 members of the Plateau State House of Assembly, eight members of the House of Representatives, 17 local government chairmen, and 325 council members on the APC platform were among the accomplishments noted by Bature during his prior term.
He gave members the assurance that the party leadership will keep offering helpful supervision and assistance to guarantee responsibility and long-term electoral victory in the state.
