On November 13, 2026, a high-level stakeholders’ meeting in Jos, Plateau State, resulted in the endorsement of President Tinubu for re-election in 2027 by various Arewa leaders, including former governors, ministers, and local government chairmen. The meeting, chaired by Senator Simon Lalong, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Arewa for Asiwaju (A4A) and former Governor of Plateau State, saw participants unanimously adopt Tinubu and other APC candidates through a voice vote.

A statement from Edwin Olofu, Head of Media Relations for A4A, confirmed the resolution to work towards securing victory for the APC across all elective positions in the state. Senator Lalong emphasized the stakeholders' belief in Tinubu's commitment to Nigeria’s development, while former Governor Joshua Dariye praised the administration's contributions to Plateau State.

Muhammad Badaru Abubakar, Director General of A4A and former Governor of Jigawa State, expressed optimism that the endorsement would lead to significant electoral support for Tinubu and the APC in the upcoming elections.
