The Plateau Women Alliance Support Group (PWASG) has commenced strategic engagements with key stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Plateau State as part of efforts to strengthen grassroots mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The group made this known following a courtesy visit to the APC Northern Zone Chairman, Hon. Agwom Atang Azi, at his office on August 17, 2026.
The visit provided an opportunity for the women’s support group to formally introduce its leadership, structure and mandate to the party chairman, while outlining its mobilisation plans and activities ahead of the 2027 elections.
Receiving the delegation, Hon. Azi warmly welcomed the initiative and commended the group for what he described as a well-organised and structured approach to political mobilisation.
The APC Northern Zone Chairman stressed the importance of taking political mobilisation to the grassroots, particularly the polling-unit level, urging the women to establish a strong presence across the state's electoral structures.
He challenged the group to mobilise at least 20 women in every polling unit, noting that a well-coordinated grassroots structure could play a decisive role in determining the outcome of the 2027 elections.
According to him, women constitute a critical component of the electorate and their effective organisation and participation could significantly strengthen the party's electoral prospects.
Hon. Azi further advised the group to establish a comprehensive executive structure across all 17 Local Government Areas, with ward and polling-unit coordinators to ensure effective communication, mobilisation and coordination.
He noted that unlike some support groups that operate mainly as platforms for family members and friends, PWASG had demonstrated a level of organisation and structure capable of supporting sustained political mobilisation.
The chairman also encouraged the women to extend their consultations to APC leaders in other zones, stressing the importance of broad-based engagement, unity and cooperation within the party.
He expressed optimism that women's participation and influence in the political process would increase significantly ahead of the 2027 elections and prayed for the success of the group's mobilisation efforts.
In her remarks, the Secretary of PWASG, Ruth Ezekiel Mandyau, thanked the APC Northern Zone Chairman for receiving the delegation and for his guidance and encouragement.
She said the group would remain committed to building a united, disciplined and effective grassroots network capable of contributing meaningfully to the political process.
The courtesy visit ended on a positive note, with the chairman expressing his support and goodwill towards the Plateau Women Alliance Support Group and urging its members to remain united, organised and focused on their objectives ahead of 2027.
The engagement is seen by members of the group as an important step towards building stronger collaboration between women-led support structures and the APC grassroots leadership across Plateau State.
