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.
