2027: Mutfwang rallies Plateau indigenes in Kaduna for Tinubu
Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang urges indigenes of the state living in Kaduna to back President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid, citing federal backing for infrastructure projects in Plateau The post 2027: Mutfwang…
Governor Caleb Mutfwang, elected on the Labour Party platform in 2023, has in recent months been more visibly aligning with President Bola Tinubu and the ruling APC-led federal government, a shift that has fuelled speculation about his own political trajectory ahead of 2027. Plateau indigenes resident in Kaduna, a sizeable diaspora community often courted by politicians from the state, are seen as an important bloc for mobilising support back home, making gatherings like this one a routine but closely watched part of pre-election positioning in Nigeria's north-central region.
The two reports differ slightly in emphasis: Premium Times frames the event as Mutfwang campaigning for Tinubu's re-election by pointing to federal support for infrastructure projects in Plateau, while ThisDay highlights the Kaduna-based community's reciprocal pledge of support for Mutfwang's own re-election, citing his state-level development record. Neither account details specific projects, figures, or the scale of the gathering, leaving open how far this translates into formal political realignment or endorsements closer to the elections.
