The All Progressives Congress (APC) has promised to hold a peaceful presidential rally on Saturday in Jos, Plateau State.

Chairman of the Local Organising Committee (LOC), of the event, Samuel Jatau, gave the assurance during a news conference on Thursday in Jos.

Mr Jatau, who is also the Secretary to the Plateau State Government, said the party, in collaboration with security agencies, had put modalities in place for a peaceful and successful rally.

“The forthcoming presidential rally will be peaceful, orderly and issue-based. We have instructed our supporters to conduct themselves in a manner that will not breach the peace of the state,” he said.

He called on stakeholders and residents of the state to cooperate with the party to ensure a successful exercise.

The LOC chairman called on party supporters to turn out en mass to welcome President Bola Tinubu to the state.

He particularly called on the party supporters to shun violence, thuggery and acts capable of disrupting public peace.

Mr Jatau appealed to residents and motorists to cooperate with traffic officials that would be deployed to manage vehicular movements during the exercise.
