Attendees at an APC rally in Jos said in a viral video that they came for money offered around the campaign, while expressing dissatisfaction with Bola Tinubu’s government, according to Vanguard. The 14 November gathering targeted the North-Central zone ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The APC presidential rally in Jos was held under heavy security, with Bola Tinubu expected at Zaria Road Stadium. Security measures were reinforced in several parts of the Plateau capital before the president’s arrival, according to Vanguard.
Tinubu was also due to inaugurate three projects carried out by the state government: a BPO digital services centre, a centre dedicated to security operations and 50 hybrid buses intended for transport between the 17 local government areas. The BPO Centre has 800 workstations and could create up to 2,400 direct full-time jobs when operating on three shifts.
Governor Caleb Mutfwang presented the infrastructure as investments in employment, security and transport. APC national chairman Nentawe Yilwatda, for his part, praised preparations for the rally, particularly security, traffic and airport logistics, and said he expected strong mobilisation of Tinubu supporters in the North-Central region.
