President Bola Tinubu on Saturday promised to strengthen security in North Central States, while calling on the citizens to unite and support him and other All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates in the 2027 elections.

The President stressed his administration’s security commitments and development projects as reasons to renew the party’s mandate.

Tinubu appealed at the APC’s North-Central campaign rally at the 60,000-capacity Zaria Road Stadium in Jos, where he also called for unity and peaceful coexistence among Nigerians of different religious, ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, in a statement, said the President noted that the country’s diversity reinforces a shared national identity.

On security, the President said surveillance cameras promised for Plateau had arrived in Nigeria and would soon be installed.

He also said 1,000 forest guards recruited by the Federal Government were undergoing training and would begin work when they completed it.

President Tinubu said the guards would support existing security agencies, particularly by monitoring forests and other vulnerable areas.

Vice-President Kashim Shettima credited the progress in Plateau and nationwide to Tinubu’s “transformational and courageous leadership,” calling the president a unique leader.

Shettima praised Plateau residents for their contributions to Nigeria in education, agriculture, the military, trade, culture and sport. He described the people of the state as “a gift to the nation” and said the APC has returned to seek a renewed mandate.
