Following waves of defections to the All Progressives Congress (APC) by several political gladiators, Yilchini and Sarpiya are fast becoming centres of attraction within the party as it prepares for the 2027 general elections. The influx of influential figures has injected fresh energy into the party’s grassroots structures, sparking renewed optimism among supporters and stakeholders across the two communities.
Political observers note that the growing interest in Yilchini and Sarpiya reflects a broader realignment of forces ahead of the next electoral cycle. With seasoned politicians and emerging leaders pitching their tents with the APC, the party appears to be consolidating its presence and expanding its appeal across areas that were previously considered politically fluid or opposition-leaning.
A major boost to this momentum is the renewed political activity of Danyaro Sarpiya, who participated in the 2023 general elections primaries and has recently paid strategic visits to his APC ward office in Ampang West and the Mangu Local Government Secretariat to formally declare his intention to aspire again for the Plateau State governorship. His visits drew mammoth crowds of supporters who gathered to welcome him and accompanied him to the local government headquarters, a development that many say speaks volumes about his growing grassroots appeal.
Equally energising the political atmosphere is the emergence of Yilchini Bida Jan, whose declaration has resonated strongly with party faithful and the wider public. In a passionate message to Plateau people, Bida Jan described himself as a former military officer who has served the nation in uniform, stressing that leadership is measured by courage, accountability, and results. “In the Military, I learned one truth: the first duty of leadership is to protect. Without security, dreams cannot breathe. Communities cannot grow. Families cannot thrive,” he said. He pledged to prioritise security, financial discipline, and inclusive governance, noting that Plateau is blessed but requires true stewardship. “I am not coming to rule. I am coming to serve. With security, discipline, and inclusive leadership, Plateau will rise again,” he declared, adding that his aspiration is driven by a commitment to ensure that young people, women, elders, and all communities have a seat at the table of governance.
Party insiders say strategic consultations, mobilisation drives, and reconciliation efforts are already underway to harness the momentum created by these developments. They believe the convergence of political heavyweights and aspirants in Yilchini and Sarpiya could translate into stronger voter outreach, improved party cohesion, and a more formidable campaign machinery as 2027 approaches, positioning the two communities as pivotal rallying points for the APC’s electoral ambitions.
