Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang on Saturday led a high-powered delegation of political leaders and stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress from Plateau State to the historic North-Central zonal endorsement of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term in office ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

The momentous gathering, held at Lafia Square in Lafia, Nasarawa State, brought together an impressive assembly of APC leaders, critical stakeholders, elected officials, and party faithful from the six states of the North-Central geopolitical zone and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, in a powerful demonstration of political solidarity and a shared commitment to the continued leadership of President Tinubu.
