He highlighted projects executed in Jos North under his watch, adding that residents were determined to reward Mutfwang’s performance with stronger electoral backing in 2027.
In his remarks, Jos North PDP Chairman, Hon. Elijah Azi, praised party loyalists and residents for their unwavering commitment, stressing that the Governor’s achievements in infrastructure and governance had cemented his place as the people’s choice for a second term.
