2027: Plateau will give you over one million votes, Yilwatda assures Tinubu
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), 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, pointing to the party’s strengthened structure and the weakening of opposition forces in the state.
Yilwatda made the assurance on Tuesday during an APC stakeholders’ meeting for the Pankshin, Kanke, and Kanam (PKK) Federal Constituency at MNS Resort Hotel, Pankshin, Plateau State.
He said the APC is in a stronger position in Plateau than it was during the 2023 elections, noting that political actors who previously opposed the party have now 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.”
Describing the PKK as the traditional stronghold of the APC, Yilwatda recalled that President Tinubu secured some of his highest votes in the area during the last presidential election.
“Out of the three local governments in PKK, President Tinubu won two. The Senate seats were APC, the House of Representatives was APC, and most members of the Plateau State House of Assembly were APC. The APC has always been PKK, and PKK has always been APC,” he stated.
The APC chairman said the party, which previously faced stiff resistance, now operates as a united force across the state.
“Come 2027, I can assure you that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will pull 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.
Yilwatda added that the party’s strength has increased with the entry of key political figures at both state and federal levels.
“Today, we have the governor, the National Chairman, all members of the House of Representatives, all members of the House of Assembly minus one, all senators minus one, all commissioners, councillors, and local government chairmen. At both state and federal levels, we are now one family. This is an addition to our party,” he said.
He also said he would no longer criticise Governor Mutfwang publicly, explaining that party unity allows for direct engagement on governance issues.
“I will no longer criticise from outside. Now I have access. If the government gets it wrong, I can pick up the phone, visit the governor, and discuss how to do better. That is the right way to build governance,” he explained.
Addressing concerns about the influx of new members into the APC, Yilwatda assured party loyalists that no individual or group would take control of the party.
“Nobody is coming to take over this party. There are many rooms and many chairs. APC gives equal rights and privileges to everyone, whether you joined today or 10 years ago.”
