Heavy Security in Jos as President Tinubu Arrives for APC Rally

Security has been increased in Jos, the capital of Plateau State, as President Bola Tinubu prepares to visit for a campaign rally on Saturday. The All Progressives Congress (APC) rally will take place at the Zaria Road Stadium, where Tinubu will also inaugurate three major projects.

Local reporters noted a strong presence of security personnel at key locations in the city, including Hill Station Junction and Zaria Road. This heightened security aims to ensure safety during the President’s visit.

Governor Caleb Mutfwang, along with other APC leaders, inspected the facilities ahead of the rally. The projects being inaugurated include a Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) Centre, the Plateau Special Activity Centre (P-SAC), and 50 hybrid buses for local transportation.

Governor Mutfwang described the BPO Centre as vital for creating jobs and empowering young people. The centre, developed in partnership with Outsource Global and MTN Nigeria, can accommodate 800 workers and is expected to create around 2,400 jobs.

The Plateau Special Activity Centre is designed to enhance security operations. It will include various units for intelligence gathering and analysis, which are essential for maintaining safety in the region.

The new hybrid buses are expected to improve public transport and connectivity across the state’s local government areas. Mutfwang expressed hope that the rally would draw significant support from APC members and the public.

APC National Chairman Professor Nentawe Yilwatda praised the preparations for the rally, highlighting the effective coordination of security and logistics. He expressed confidence in the party’s ability to rally support for Tinubu, noting the involvement of many prominent political figures.
