The Plateau Women Alliance Support Group for Tinubu and Mutfwang 2027 has commenced a fresh drive to consolidate its grassroots political structure across the Northern Zone of Plateau State, with emphasis on ward and polling unit mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a statement signed Hon. Veronica Pwol, Zonal Coordinator, Northern Zone Plateau Women Alliance Support Group for Tinubu and Mutfwang 2027. The move formed the major focus of the Northern Zone Executive Meeting of the group held on Thursday, August 14, 2026, at the Sen. Simon Mwadkwon Hotel, Domkat, Bali Road, Jos.
The meeting, which attracted 35 executive members from across the Northern Zone, reviewed the organisational structure of the group and mapped out strategies for strengthening its presence at the grassroots.
Declaring the meeting open, the Northern Zone Coordinator, Hon. Veronica Pwol, welcomed members and commended them for their commitment to the movement, stressing the need for unity, discipline and effective coordination as the group prepares for the 2027 political season.
From Zonal Structure to Polling Units. At the centre of the deliberations was the need to build a functional structure capable of reaching women and other supporters at the grassroots.
The meeting consequently directed all LGA Coordinators to submit the names of their Ward and Polling Unit Coordinators within one week to the Assistant Secretary, Hon. Tabawa Aruku CNA.
The decision is expected to provide the group with a clearer organisational chain from the zonal leadership through the LGAs and wards down to polling units.
The LGA Coordinators were also mandated to forward the official list of APC candidates immediately after its release by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
The Northern Zone leadership further emphasised the importance of cooperation among members of the organisation, directing all Advisers and State Executive Council members to work closely with the Zonal Coordinator and their respective LGA Coordinators.
According to the meeting, stronger collaboration among the various levels of leadership would enhance coordination and prevent duplication of responsibilities as political activities intensify towards 2027.
The group also moved to strengthen its identity and visibility, agreeing that the official cap would be used during meetings as a means of identification.
However, the T-shirt and cap would be reserved for campaign activities and courtesy visits.
LGA Inauguration: Patrons, Matrons, Advisers:
Preparations for the proposed LGA inauguration ceremonies also featured prominently during the meeting.
Each of the six LGAs in the Northern Zone was tasked with securing a minimum of four Patrons and four Matrons before the inauguration.
The LGAs were equally directed to identify prominent stakeholders who could serve in strategic roles, including Chairman, Special Guest and Chairlady, while also supporting the sponsorship and success of the inauguration programmes.
In another organisational decision, every LGA was mandated to have at least four Advisers, with the possibility of appointing more where necessary.
Other Zones to Establish Structures
The Northern Zone Executive also extended the organisational blueprint to other zones of the state.
The South West, South East, South and Middle Belt Zones were urged to constitute their respective Executive Councils, Patrons and Matrons.
The meeting stressed that persons selected into the various positions should be responsible and committed members capable of contributing meaningfully to the objectives of the movement.
Each of the zones is expected to conduct its own inauguration separately as part of the broader effort to establish a coordinated statewide structure.
A Grassroots Political Network
The resolutions coming from the meeting underscore the growing emphasis on grassroots organisation as political activities gradually build towards the 2027 elections.
For the Plateau Women Alliance Support Group, the strategy goes beyond holding periodic meetings, as the organisation seeks to establish a structured network capable of mobilising women and supporters across LGAs, wards and polling units.
The meeting ended at 4:00pm with a closing prayer and vote of thanks.
The Northern Zone leadership described the meeting as successful, saying it was conducted in an atmosphere of unity, commitment and determination to strengthen the organisation ahead of the 2027 elections
