Riyom APC Youths Endorse Tinubu, Mutfwang, Dalyop Fom for Continuity Ahead of 2027
The Riyom APC Youth Council has endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang, and the member representing Barkin Ladi/Riyom Federal Constituency, Hon. Engr. Dalyop Fom Chollom, for continuity in office ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The endorsement was announced during a press conference held on Tuesday, where the group said its decision followed extensive consultations with party elders, stakeholders, youths, women groups, and community leaders across Riyom and Barkin Ladi Local Government Areas.
Speaking on behalf of the council, Chairman of the Riyom APC Youth Council, Comrade Pam Nuhu Daniel, alongside the Secretary, Comrade Patience Shishang Chaimang, declared total support for President Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima for a second term, citing what they described as bold economic reforms and strategic efforts aimed at repositioning Nigeria.
The youth council also endorsed Governor Caleb Mutfwang and Deputy Governor Ngo Josephine Piyo for a second term in office, commending the Plateau State administration for achievements in infrastructure, peacebuilding, education, healthcare, workers’ welfare, and youth engagement.
According to the council, the Mutfwang administration has demonstrated commitment toward rebuilding Plateau State despite prevailing economic and security challenges.
On the Barkin Ladi/Riyom Federal Constituency seat, the council threw its weight behind Hon. Engr. Dalyop Fom Chollom for a second term in the House of Representatives.
The group said its decision was in line with resolutions reached during a stakeholders’ meeting held at Jonggrand Hotel, Bukuru, on April 28, 2026, where political leaders from Riyom and Barkin Ladi reportedly agreed that Barkin Ladi should retain the House of Representatives seat in 2027, while Riyom would take its turn from 2031 to 2039.
The council described Hon. Dalyop Fom Chollom as a performing lawmaker who has demonstrated accessibility, effective representation, youth empowerment, healthcare support, and commitment to constituency development.
They argued that returning an experienced lawmaker would strengthen representation, attract more federal projects, and sustain ongoing empowerment programmes across the constituency.
The Riyom APC Youth Council also called on all political actors, youths, elders, and stakeholders within the constituency to remain united and avoid divisive politics capable of threatening the peace and political harmony between Riyom and Barkin Ladi LGAs.
The group further condemned the recent attacks in communities including Rim, Jol, Bachit, Fan, and Nding in Riyom and parts of Barkin Ladi Local Government Area, describing the killings and destruction of property as barbaric and unacceptable.
They urged security agencies to intensify efforts toward apprehending perpetrators of the attacks while appealing to youths not to take the law into their hands.
Super Falcons striker Asisat Oshoala was on target as Al Hilal produced an impressive 4-0 away victory over NEOM, with fellow Nigerian international Christy Ucheibe also featuring in the convincing performance.
Sports247 reports that Oshoala continued her contribution to Al Hilal’s attacking campaign by finding the back of the net in the 65th minute, helping the visitors strengthen their advantage in a dominant display.

The Nigerian forward’s goal came during an impressive second-half performance from Al Hilal, who added three goals after the interval to complete a comprehensive victory.
Moroccan forward Ibtissam Jraidi opened the scoring in the 11th minute, giving Al Hilal an early advantage before the teams went into the break.
Oshoala doubled the visitors’ lead in the 65th minute before Manar Al-Anzi made it 3-0 just four minutes later.
Jraidi then completed her brace in the 88th minute, sealing the emphatic 4-0 result for Al Hilal.
Christy Ucheibe, Oshoala’s Super Falcons teammate, also played a part in the victory as the Nigerian duo continued to make their contributions to the Saudi Arabian club.
The result represents another important outing for Al Hilal, with the team’s attacking quality evident in the performance against NEOM.
For Oshoala, the goal provides another opportunity to demonstrate her goalscoring ability and importance at club level. The six-time African Women’s Player of the Year remains one of Nigeria’s most recognisable football exports, and her performances continue to attract attention.
The presence of both Oshoala and Ucheibe in Al Hilal’s squad also highlights the growing influence of Nigerian players in women’s football outside the country.
With the emphatic away victory secured, Al Hilal will look to build on the performance in their subsequent fixtures.
