He described the rally as a strong demonstration of the party’s growing cohesion and commitment to President Tinubu’s re-election.
He charged the people of Plateau State to translate the enthusiasm demonstrated at the rally into votes, insisting that the state must deliver a record-breaking electoral victory for Tinubu.
The APC national chairman reaffirmed that all political leaders in state were now united, 100 per cent, behind Tinubu, assuring Mr President that the ballot box would reflect the people’s overwhelming support.
He also described the president as a promise-keeper who has fulfilled the commitments he made to Plateau State, noting that the administration’s record of delivery provided a strong basis for renewed public confidence and support.
A major highlight of the rally was the presentation of APC flags to the party’s governorship candidates across the North-Central states.
It symbolised the party’s determination to strengthen internal cohesion, consolidate its political structures and secure victory at all levels in the forthcoming elections.
Speaking further, Professor Yilwatda specifically charged APC governors, governorship candidates and party leaders across the region to close ranks, bring every stakeholder on board and establish a united front behind President Tinubu.
He urged the state leadership of the party to consolidate the unity already achieved and mobilise massively for the president and all APC candidates.
In Benue State, he called on the state governor and party leaders to harmonise all interests, unite the political stakeholders and mobilise the electorate for a resounding APC victory.
For Niger State, the APC National Chairman expressed confidence in the state leadership’s ability to use the party’s flag as a rallying point to unite members and deliver President Tinubu and all the party’s candidates.
Similarly, while presenting the party’s flag to its governorship candidate in Nasarawa State, he charged him and other party leaders to provide purposeful leadership.
He urged the candidate to unite stakeholders and mobilise massive support for President Tinubu, while working towards greater prosperity, peace and development in the state.
Yilwatda emphasised that the North-Central region must approach the forthcoming elections with a common purpose, stressing that personal interests and political differences must give way to the collective objective of securing victory for the APC.
He urged all party structures, elected officials, candidates and grassroots mobilisers to intensify engagement with the electorate and ensure that the enthusiasm witnessed in Jos translates into overwhelming votes across the region.
The National Chairman declared that the APC remained firmly committed to delivering President Bola Tinubu and all its candidates across the North-Central and the country.
He said: “Our strength lies in our unity, our strategy is effective mobilisation, and our destination is victory.
“I therefore charge all our governors, governorship candidates and party leaders across the North-Central to unite every stakeholder in their respective states and work together to deliver maximum votes for President Bola Tinubu.
“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 National Chairman assured party members and supporters that the party would sustain its mobilisation drive, strengthen its structures and work collectively towards a decisive victory for President Tinubu and all APC candidates in 2027.
