Youth leaders in Mangu Local Government Area have declared their full support for Governor Caleb Mutfwang's re-election bid in 2027, making the announcement during a visit by Hon. William Richard, Senior Special Assistant to Jos North Council Chairman.
The endorsement came as Hon. Richard returned to his community in Mangu for a thank-you tour and stakeholder engagement, where hundreds of community members gathered to show their support.
Mr. Thomas Heli, Youth Leader of Mangu Halle ward, stated emphatically: "We've witnessed Governor Mutfwang deliver on education reforms, road infrastructure, and peacebuilding. These tangible achievements deserve four more years of consolidation. Today, we pledge our full support for his 2027 bid."
Hon. Richard's visit served multiple purposes, including expressing gratitude to constituents for their role in his appointment, assessing community needs for government intervention, and building grassroots support for the Mutfwang administration.
The SSA was accompanied by a high-powered network delegation of women and youth leaders as well as party stalwarts across Mangu local government area.
"This visit demonstrates my commitment to always promote bottom-up engagement," Hon. Richard emphasized. "Governor Mutfwang has shown that development begins when leaders listen to their people."
A community leader in Mangu Halle added his voice to the growing support, praising the governor's peacebuilding efforts: "Since 1999, we haven't seen a governor who understands Plateau's diversity like Mutfwang. His second term will cement our state's unity.
The event concluded with special interfaith prayers for sustained peace across the Plateau, divine wisdom for government leaders, and successful completion of ongoing projects.
Political observers note this early endorsement signals strong grassroots momentum for the governor's future ambitions, with Mangu LGA emerging as a key support base ahead of 2027 elections.
Hon. Richard promised to serve as a liaison between the community and government, announcing plans for monthly town hall meetings to maintain open dialogue with constituents.
The SSA's visit has been widely praised as a model of grassroots political engagement and a boost for the Mutfwang administration's connection with local communities
