Plateau State is billed to host a major political rally for the All Progressives Congress (APC) North Central Leg on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at the Zaria Road Stable, starting at 10:00 am.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will lead a high-level delegation, including the First Lady, Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Chairman Local Organizing Committee (LOC) of the APC Presidential Campaign Rally in Plateau State, Arc. Samuel N. Jatua, briefed newsmen Thursday at the NUJ Press Center Jos.
The National Chairman of the APC and other national leaders are also expected at the event, which is aimed at demonstrating the State’s “political maturity and hospitality” towards national leadership, and reaffirming commitment to President Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope” agenda.
The Local Organizing Committee is working with the Plateau State Government and APC leadership to ensure a peaceful event.
According to him, preparations cover venue readiness, transportation, traffic management, crowd control, access control and emergency response, while security agencies are coordinating safety protocols for dignitaries and the general public.
He appealed to residents and motorists to cooperate with security directives and exercise patience during the event, while supporters across all 17 Local Government Areas have been urged to attend peacefully and responsibly.
According to him, Governor Caleb Mutfwang formally joined the APC, in January 2026, strengthening ties between the State and national party structures, adding that the alignment, according to officials, has facilitated better engagement with the Federal Government to advance State development priorities.
“The Federal Government has committed to significant road infrastructure projects, including the Kwankajoth Road, rehabilitation of the Sharaf Dara of Anlaba Road in Kenya, and approval for the Maraba Jama’a Tanke Latensha Danbury Road,” he disclosed.
“Security interventions include the procurement of surveillance cameras and the recruitment and training of 1,000 Forest Guards to enhance community-level surveillance.”
While highlighting Governor Mutfwang’s achievements, the LOC chairman stressed that the governor’s administration has focused on education through reduced school fees and international scholarships. Students from 14 tertiary institutions in the State have benefited from N11.3 billion via the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND).
“Agricultural productivity is being supported through government subsidies on farm inputs to improve food security. Healthcare improvements include a N590 million central drug warehouse project under the Drugs and Medical Registry, designed to prevent fake pharmaceuticals,” Architect Jatua stated.
Transport initiatives involve the provision of 30 metro buses, with 30 more pending, and the revival of the Plateau Express Service, including new routes like Jos-to-Abuja.
