He said that among the presidential candidates, Tinubu had demonstrated strong political will to move the nation forward.
“The 2027 election is very critical and crucial at both the state and national levels.
” I want to tell you in all honesty, not just politics, if you look at all the variables, you will come to the conclusion that with all the options at our disposal, it is better we stick with the President.
“I believe that one of the things that has held this nation together is the power sharing that existed between the north and the south.
“If we break it, it will hunt us in the future. I believe we should respect it. For that, I wish to call on Nigerians to vote the President in 2027,”he called.
Muftwang, who also called on Plateau residents to support his re-election bid in 2027, said that the move would enable him to consolidate on the gains so far achieved.
He said that his administration had recorded some modest achievements, adding that another term would enable him to do more.
Earlier, Prof. Lazarus Maigoro, the Patron of the group, said that membership of the group was drawn from various tertiary institutions in the state.
He said that the group would support the relection bid of Tinubu and Muftwang in the forthcoming general elections.
Maigoro, particularly said that the modest achievements recorded in the education sector by both the president and governor informed the decision of the group to support them for another term.
