A political support group, the Women First Grassroots Support Mobilization Group, from Pankshin, Kanke, and Kanam Federal Constituency, has endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Executive Governor of Plateau State, His Excellency, Barr. Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang, for a second term in office, citing their exemplary leadership and impactful policies.
The group also endorsed All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates for the 2027 general elections: Chief David Barji for Plateau Central Senatorial District, Rt. Hon. Yusuf Adamu Gagdi for Pankshin/Kanke/Kanam Federal Constituency, and Hon. Rotshak Yokden for Pankshin North State Constituency.
The declaration was made during a well-attended programme organized by the group in Pankshin, the headquarters of the Pankshin-Kanke-Kanam Federal Constituency, which drew women leaders, party stakeholders, and supporters from the three Local Government Areas.
In her welcoming address, the Chairperson of the group, Mrs. Blessing Nokdi Yilluk, said the movement was committed to mobilizing people at the grassroots to support all candidates of the APC to emerge victorious in the 2027 general elections.
She explained that the group, with over 350 women from Pankshin, Kanke, and Kanam, came together under one umbrella, with one voice and one purpose, to endorse unity, progress, and the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
According to her, the endorsement of President Tinubu and Governor Mutfwang was not by accident, but a deliberate decision anchored on their visible achievements in infrastructural development, women empowerment, youth inclusion, security, agriculture, and economic revitalization.
” President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has shown uncommon courage in taking bold decisions to reposition Nigeria’s economy, while Governor Caleb Mutfwang has demonstrated uncommon commitment to peace, development and good governance in Plateau State. They deserve a second term to consolidate their gains,” Mrs. Yilluk stated.
The Chairperson disclosed that the group will embark on massive grassroots mobilization, including house-to-house campaigns, market outreaches, community engagements, and voter education, to ensure total victory for the APC at all levels in the 2027 general elections.
She called on women across the constituency to remain united, shun divisive politics, and actively participate in the electoral process, noting that women remain the backbone of grassroots politics.
Patron of the group and a chieftain of the APC in Pankshin, James Gambo Dimlong, commended the women for their unity, resilience, and commitment, describing them as a formidable force and a critical pillar for electoral victory.
He assured the group of his continued support and inclusion of women in decision-making and governance.
Speaking on the theme ‘Unity’, a guest speaker at the event, Bridget Tunkuda, advocated for women’s inclusion in politics, noting that women are the backbone of any meaningful development in the country.
