The political atmosphere in Plateau State gained fresh momentum on Friday as Hon. Jude Eli Dakur formally declared his intention to contest for the governorship of Plateau State in 2027 under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Dakur made the declaration before the leadership of the APC in Kerang Ward, his immediate ward, as well as the Mangu Local Government Executive Committee and members of the State Executive Council. His announcement was met with overwhelming support from stakeholders, party leaders, and enthusiastic supporters who commended his courage and readiness to serve.

A former Commissioner of Education and Commissioner for Mineral Development in the state, Dakur is regarded as an experienced administrator with the skills to drive growth and development.

Speaking at the event, Dakur reaffirmed his passion for the progress of Plateau State and pledged to bring vision, integrity, and competence into governance if elected governor.

Grassroots mobilisers and various organisations present pledged their commitment to the “Faith Project” movement, promising to spread the message of transformation and unity across communities in the state.

The declaration has set the stage for what supporters describe as a new wave of political momentum for the APC in Plateau State as preparations for the 2027 elections gather pace.
