The Forum of Stakeholders of the All Progressive Congress, APC, has endorsed President Bola Tinubu shead of the 2027 general elections.
The Forum also promised to support the re-election bid of Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State.
The North-Central Chairman of the Forum, Alhaji Saleh Zazzaga, stated this while addressing newsmen on Friday in Jos.
Zazzaga said that the decision to support Tinubu and Mutfwang was taken at an expanded meeting with stakeholders of the forum on Thursday night.
“We have decided to adopt the green cap movement in Plateau because we believe that the time is now.
“Though Mutfwang is of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), we believe that he is doing well and we must support him to excel.
“We are also endorsing our president, Bola Tinubu, for 2027 because he is doing extremely well.
“We want Tinubu to continue with the reforms his administration is doing in order to reboot our economy and place it on the path of steady growth,” he said.
According to him, majority of Nigerians are proud of the progress made by the Tinubu-led administration in the last two years.
Zazzaga further stated that the endorsement of the President by the Forum would enable him consolidate on the gains already achieved.
“Our endorsement is rooted in a comprehensive assessment of Tinubu’s transformative leadership.
“His unwavering commitment to national development and the tangible achievements recorded under his administration since he came to office in 2023 speak volume.
“This is why the entire structure of our party in the north-central region met on Wednesday and endorsed President Bola Tinubu as our candidate in 2027,” he said.
The chairman, who called on Plateau residents to vote for Mutfwang in 2027, also urged those from the North-Central states to vote for Tinubu.
Recall that all the 22 governors elected on the platform of APC had also thrown their weight behind Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid.
