Security was heightened across Jos, Plateau State, on Saturday as President Bola Tinubu arrived in the state capital for the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign rally ahead of the 2027 elections.
Major roads and junctions, including Hill Station Junction, Zaria Road, Polo Roundabout and sections of Yakubu Gowon Way, were occupied by security personnel from the early hours of the day.
Officers were seen stopping vehicles, screening passengers and monitoring movements around Zaria Road Stadium, the venue of the rally.
Tinubu was accompanied by his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu; Vice-President Kashim Shettima; Senate President Godswill Akpabio; Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas; APC National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda; several governors and other party leaders.
During the visit, the President is also scheduled to commission three projects executed by the Plateau State Government.
The projects are the Business Process Outsourcing Centre in Jos, the Plateau Special Activity Centre and 50 hybrid Jet Mover buses intended to improve transportation between local government areas in the state.
The Chairman of the Local Organising Committee and Secretary to the Plateau State Government, Arc. Samuel Jatau, said preparations had been completed for the rally.
He said the committee had made arrangements for the venue, transportation, traffic management, security, crowd control, emergency response and other logistical requirements to ensure a smooth event.
