Tinubu Assures Plateau Of Support To Rebuild Communities Affected By Insurgency

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assured residents of Plateau State of the Federal Government’s commitment to rebuilding communities affected by insurgency and restoring displaced residents to their ancestral homes.

The President gave the assurance at the All Progressives Congress (APC) North-Central Presidential Campaign Rally held at the Zaria Road Stadium in Jos, Plateau State, where he called for unity and collective efforts towards national development.

Tinubu, who thanked the people for waiting patiently for his arrival, said his administration was committed to delivering prosperity and improving the nation’s economy.

“We will work together to rebuild those communities affected by insurgency. Let’s work together for one country. Your PVC is your weapon and roadmap to prosperity. We will work together to promote shared prosperity for our nation, and the economy will improve,” the President said.

Earlier, Governor Caleb Mutfwang pledged the support of Plateau State for Tinubu’s re-election, declaring that the state was determined to deliver unprecedented votes for the President in the January 16, 2027 election.

Mutfwang described Tinubu as a friend of Plateau State and the North-Central region, citing Federal Government interventions in road infrastructure, healthcare and other sectors as evidence of his administration’s commitment to the state.

He said Plateau residents were prepared to reciprocate the President’s support through their votes, while appealing for further federal intervention to facilitate the return of displaced persons to their ancestral communities.

The governor also appealed to Tinubu to assist in completing the Zaria Road Stadium project, which he said was initiated about 40 years ago, with a view to upgrading it to international standards.

Vice President Kashim Shettima described Tinubu as a transformational leader, saying the President had demonstrated the courage to take far-reaching decisions aimed at repositioning the country.

Shettima disclosed that ₦11.34 billion had been disbursed through the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) to beneficiaries across Plateau State.

He urged residents to support the APC at all levels in the forthcoming elections.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio assured Plateau residents that the Tinubu administration was committed to ending insecurity and ensuring displaced communities return to their ancestral homes.

He also expressed support for the establishment of state police, saying the initiative would strengthen community-based security and prevent further attacks on communities.

Former Zamfara State Governor and Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, said Plateau State had demonstrated its political support for the ruling party, while assuring that the present administration was working to improve the country’s security situation.

Meanwhile, APC National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, presented party flags to the APC governorship candidates from states across the North-Central region as part of activities at the rally.

The rally attracted APC governors, other political office holders, party stakeholders, and supporters from across the North-Central region.
