Tinubu Arrives Jos as Heavy Security Takes Over Plateau Ahead of APC Rally

President Bola Tinubu arrived in Jos, the Plateau State capital, on Saturday ahead of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally, as security operatives took over major roads and strategic locations across the city.

From the early hours of Saturday, security personnel were deployed to major roads, junctions and public spaces, with heavy security presence reported around Hill Station Junction, Zaria Road, Polo Roundabout and sections of Yakubu Gowon Way.

Vehicles were reportedly stopped, passengers subjected to security checks, while operatives closely monitored movements around the Zaria Road Stadium, the venue of the APC rally.

The President arrived in Plateau State alongside his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, and APC National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda.

Several governors, senior government officials and other prominent leaders of the ruling party were also part of the presidential entourage.

Tinubu to Commission Three Plateau Government Projects

Beyond the political rally, President Tinubu is also expected to commission three projects executed by the Plateau State Government during his visit.

The projects include the Business Process Outsourcing Centre in Jos, the Plateau Special Activity Centre and 50 hybrid Jet Mover buses designed to facilitate transportation between local government areas across the state.

The commissioning activities form part of the President’s engagements during his visit to Plateau State.
