Tinubu Campaign: Yilwatda Urges APC Unity in North-Central »

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, has urged governors, governorship candidates and party leaders across the North-Central region to unite stakeholders and mobilise support for the Tinubu campaign ahead of the January 16, 2027 presidential election.

Yilwatda made the call at the APC presidential campaign rally held at Azaria Road Stadium, Jos, Plateau State, on Saturday, November 14, 2026.

In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Information Strategy, Abimbola Tooki, the APC chairman said the turnout at the rally reflected renewed unity among party leaders and supporters in Plateau State.

He urged party members to translate the enthusiasm demonstrated at the rally into votes, insisting that the North-Central region must work collectively to secure victory for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other APC candidates.

Yilwatda said political leaders in Plateau State were now fully united behind the President, expressing confidence that their commitment would be reflected in the ballot box.

He also described Tinubu as a “promise keeper”, claiming that the President had fulfilled commitments made to Plateau State.

A major highlight of the rally was the presentation of APC flags to the party’s governorship candidates across the North-Central region. The exercise was described as part of efforts to strengthen internal cohesion and consolidate the party’s political structures ahead of the elections.

Yilwatda gave specific instructions to party leaders across the region. In Plateau State, he urged political stakeholders to consolidate the unity already achieved and intensify mobilisation for Tinubu and other APC candidates.

In Benue State, he called on the governor and party leaders to harmonise competing interests, unite political stakeholders and mobilise the electorate for the party.

For Niger State, he expressed confidence in the leadership’s ability to use the APC flag as a rallying point for party unity and electoral mobilisation.

He also charged the Nasarawa State governorship candidate and other party leaders to provide purposeful leadership, unite stakeholders and mobilise support for the Tinubu campaign while working towards peace, prosperity and development in the state.

Speaking on the need for collective action, Yilwatda said personal interests and political differences must give way to the party’s common electoral objective.

“Our strength lies in our unity, our strategy is effective mobilisation, and our destination is victory,” he said.

“The Jos rally has demonstrated what we can achieve when we stand together. We must sustain this momentum, take our message to every community and ensure that our commitment to the President is reflected in our votes.”

The APC chairman further urged party structures, elected officials, candidates and grassroots mobilisers to intensify engagement with voters across the region.

He maintained that the party would sustain its Tinubu campaign mobilisation drive, strengthen its structures and work collectively towards securing victory for the President and all APC candidates in the 2027 general election.
