Diket Plang Affirms Tinubu's Strong Re-election Prospects

Senator Diket Plang, representing Plateau Central Senatorial District, stated that the emerging opposition coalition poses no threat to President Bola Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 general election. During an interactive session with journalists in Jos, Plateau State, Plang argued that the coalition's efforts arrived too late, as the APC has already consolidated its political structures and expanded its reach.

He expressed confidence that the APC would secure victories in the presidential election, governorship, National Assembly, and state assembly contests. Plang emphasized that the broad-based acceptance of President Tinubu across party lines indicates the APC's strong position.

He also addressed the debate on whether Tinubu should campaign personally, stating that it is unrealistic for a presidential candidate to visit every polling unit in Nigeria, as campaigns rely on established political representation structures.
