President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (PBAT) has appealed to Nigerians to vote for him and other All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates in the 2027 elections as the party presented its governorship flags to Benue Governor, Fr. Hyacinth Alia, and other North Central candidates in Jos, Plateau State.
The APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, presented the flags to governors seeking re-election and other candidates, including Aliyu Wadada of Nasarawa and Yakubu Danladi of Kwara, at the party’s North Central campaign rally held at the 60,000-capacity Zaria Road Stadium.
PBAT, who solicited support for his administration’s second term, cited ongoing development projects and renewed security commitments, including the deployment of surveillance cameras and 1,000 forest guards to Plateau State.
The President also called for national unity and peaceful coexistence, while Vice-President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio and other APC chieftains rallied support for the party’s candidates.
Meanwhile, a former Benue governorship aspirant and Chairman of Divine Mandate (Diaspora Community), Mr Emmanuel Akpur, has congratulated Fr. Alia on the presentation of the APC flag, saying the governor’s track record of achievements has made his re-election campaign much easier.
Mr. Akpur urged the governor’s supporters to conduct peaceful campaigns, expressing confidence that the masses were behind Fr. Alia, whom he said remained committed to the people’s welfare.
