The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nentawe Yilwatda, has challenged former vice-president Atiku Abubakar to name one major project worth N10bn executed in Plateau State during his eight years in office.<\/p>\n

Yilwatda spoke on Wednesday at the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement in Jos, the Plateau State capital, while canvassing support for Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general election.<\/p>\n

\u201cAtiku was vice president for eight years. Show me one road or one thing that we had on the Plateau. Show me one N10 billion project on the Plateau within that period,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best we can have in those days is a borehole, or they bring \u2018Keke Napep\u2019 for us. Today, the president is bringing major projects on the Plateau,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Yilwatda listed a univeristy and the Federal Medical Centre among projects associated with Tinubu\u2019s administration, adding that the president had addressed challenges in healthcare, education, infrastructure and security.<\/p>\n

He identified insecurity as the most pressing concern among Plateau residents and credited Tinubu with addressing the problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you ask any Plateau man, \u2018What is your problem?\u2019 The number one problem is insecurity, and Mr President has addressed it,\u201d Yilwatda said.<\/p>\n

Also speaking at the event, Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang urged residents to support Tinubu\u2019s re-election, arguing that the president should be allowed to complete an eight-year tenure in line with the North-South power-sharing arrangement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no reason why we will change the power-sharing formula between the north and the south; we\u2019ve agreed that the south can do eight years and the north will do eight years,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Buhari did eight years for the north there; there is no reason why the south cannot do eight years.<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cWe must be promise keepers; therefore, we have every reason to stick with the president.\u201d<\/p>\n

The governor urged Nigerians to exercise patience and allow Tinubu\u2019s economic policies time to produce results, describing the president as a \u201cgood driver\u201d and arguing that there was no need for a change in leadership.<\/p>\n
