The ancient town of Yola in Adamawa is bustling with activity ahead of President Mammadu Buhari’s arrival for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally.
Buhari is expected to arrive at the Yola International Airport by 10.30 a.m for the event on Monday.
Adequate security measures had been put in place following the strategic deployment of security personnel within and outside the Mahmud Ribadu Square venue of the event.
On arrival, Buhari is expected to pay homage to the paramount ruler of the state and Lamido Adamawa, Alhaji Barkindo Aliyu Mustapha, after which he would proceed to the venue of the meeting.
Politicians and well-wishers, especially APC loyalists, have been mobilised in anticipation of the arrival of the august visitor.
Mr Samaila Tadawus, the state APC Chairman, expressed optimism that the coming of the president would further increase the electoral chances of the party, saying Buhari’s presence will definitely add value to our candidates.
Tadawus said the party was heading for victory in all future elections, especially in the state governorship election where a female candidate, Sen. Aishatu Binani, is contesting.
