The Dr Peace Longdet APC Professionals Vanguard on Saturday joined thousands of All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters from across Plateau State at the Presidential Mega Rally held in Jos, the state capital.
The group participated in the rally in support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda Goshwe. Members attended alongside their convener, Dr Peace Longdet, Special Adviser to the APC National Chairman on Research and Strategy.
The group’s banner was prominently displayed at the rally ground, as members joined other support groups to demonstrate their solidarity with the President and the party’s leadership.
The rally climaxed two days of activities by the Vanguard ahead of the presidential visit. The group had earlier welcomed President Tinubu to Jos, describing the city as the Home of Peace and Tourism.
On Friday, members received the APC National Chairman at the Yakubu Gowon Airport upon his arrival in the state before visiting their convener, Dr Longdet.
During the meeting, Longdet welcomed members and commended them for supporting President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
She highlighted some of the administration’s programmes aimed at improving the welfare of artisans, women and young people, describing the Tinubu administration as the most youth-friendly since Nigeria’s return to democracy in 1999.
Later on Friday, the group joined other APC supporters at the PRTV Roundabout for a solidarity walk in anticipation of the presidential rally before proceeding to the rally venue to mount its banner.
The Vanguard brings together professionals across Plateau State to mobilise support for the APC. Members described their participation as a demonstration of loyalty to President Tinubu and Prof. Yilwatda, whom they identified as a worthy son of Plateau State.
They also commended Dr Longdet for providing professionals in the state with a platform to participate actively in the party and contribute to its political activities.
