The Plateau State capital was under tight watch on Saturday as President Bola Tinubu touched down for the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign rally.

From the early hours of the morning, major roads and junctions in Jos were taken over by security men.

Places like Hill Station Junction, Zaria Road, Polo Roundabout and sections of Yakubu Gowon Way were full of uniformed operatives.

According to report, officers were stopping vehicles, checking passengers and keeping a close eye on movement around the Zaria Road Stadium, where the rally is holding.

Among Tinubu’s entourage are his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Speaker Tajudeen Abbas, APC National Chairman Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, several governors and other top leaders of the party.

While in Jos, the President will also commission three projects put up by the Plateau State Government.

They are the Business Process Outsourcing Centre in Jos, the Plateau Special Activity Centre, and 50 hybrid Jet Mover buses meant for movement between local governments in the state.

The Chairman of the Local Organising Committee, who is also the Secretary to the Government of Plateau State, Arc. Samuel Jatau, said everything was set for the event.

He said the committee has worked on the venue, transport, traffic, security, crowd control, emergency response and other logistics needed for a smooth rally.

The vice presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Rotimi Amaechi, says the party’s flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar, is on his way to victory in the 2027 presidential poll.

Amaechi made the boast while addressing supporters at the ADC presidential campaign rally in Bauchi on Saturday, where he argued that President Bola Tinubu has lost his grip on the North.

He claimed that Atiku is already in firm control of all 13 states in the North East and North West.

“Atiku has the 13 states in the North East and North West. Tinubu has only 5 in the South West, and the 6th goes to Allied Peoples Movement, APM,” he stated.

Amaechi said the ADC is not scared of the contest in the South-South and North Central, stressing that the party will take Tinubu head-on in both regions.

“We will fight him in the South South and North Central. In the North Central, Atiku will easily take Niger, Kogi and Nasarawa,” he said.

He also wrote off Tinubu in the South East, saying the President has no chance in the zone.

“The South East is a no-go for Tinubu. Be rest assured the ADC will win,” Amaechi declared.

The crowd erupted in jubilation after his speech, with supporters singing and waving ADC flags.

The Bauchi rally forms part of the ADC’s nationwide tour to mobilise voters ahead of the 2027 general elections.
