The Dr Peace Longdet APC Professionals Vanguard has mobilised professionals across Plateau State in support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC), as the party held its presidential mega rally in Jos on Saturday.
The group, led by its convener, Dr Peace Longdet, Special Adviser to the APC National Chairman on Research and Strategy, joined thousands of party supporters at the rally in support of Tinubu and APC National Chairman, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda.
The mobilisation followed two days of activities by the group ahead of the President’s visit, including a solidarity walk and engagements with party leaders.
On Friday, members received Yilwatda at the Yakubu Gowon Airport, Jos, before visiting Longdet, who commended them for supporting the Tinubu administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
During the meeting, Longdet highlighted government programmes targeting artisans, women and young people, describing the administration as the most youth-friendly since Nigeria’s return to democracy in 1999.
The group later joined other APC supporters in a solidarity walk from the PRTV Roundabout ahead of Saturday’s presidential rally.
Members said the Vanguard was established to provide professionals in Plateau with a platform to participate in party activities and mobilise support for the APC.
They also commended Longdet for creating the platform, describing their participation in the rally as a demonstration of support for Tinubu and Yilwatda.
The group’s activities form part of broader efforts by APC support organisations to mobilise political backing for the party’s leadership and its 2027 electoral ambitions.
