President Bola Tinubu has promised to rebuild communities devastated by attacks in Plateau State and facilitate the return of internally displaced persons (IDPs) to their ancestral homes.
The President gave the assurance on Saturday at the All Progressives Congress (APC) North-Central Presidential Campaign Rally held at Zaria Road Stadium in Jos.
Tinubu said his administration would work with Governor Caleb Mutfwang, traditional rulers, and community leaders to restore affected communities and ensure displaced families return safely.
“I assure those displaced that we will rebuild your communities and bring you back to your communities,” he said.
He also disclosed that security operations would be strengthened across the state, revealing that 1,000 forest guards were undergoing training to improve protection in vulnerable communities.
According to him, surveillance cameras procured by the Federal Government would also strengthen intelligence gathering, early warning, and security responses.
Tinubu urged residents to embrace peaceful coexistence, stressing that unity and mutual respect were necessary for the state’s development.
On the economy, he promised to convert Plateau’s airport into a cargo facility to enable farmers to export agricultural produce, including vegetables and potatoes, directly to international markets.
He also encouraged eligible voters to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards and support the APC in the 2027 general elections.
Meanwhile, Vice-President Kashim Shettima praised Tinubu for taking what he described as courageous economic decisions that prevented Nigeria from sliding into economic collapse.
Shettima claimed that the country’s foreign reserves were approaching $60bn and described Tinubu as a transformational leader.
He also urged Plateau residents to support both Tinubu and Governor Mutfwang in the 2027 elections, saying previous political disagreements among APC stakeholders in the state had been resolved.
The rally was part of the APC’s mobilisation efforts ahead of the 2027 general elections.
