Aside from Tinubu and his running mate, other party chieftains present include the Plateau state governor and the Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Simon Lalong, the APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, and a host of others.
According to the campaign calendar, APC which flags off its rally in Jos today is expected to end with another rally in Lagos State on February 13, 2023.
The moves to tighten security at Jo’s venue may not be unconnected to recent attacks on the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and his supporters during campaign rallies in both Kaduna and Borno States.
