Simon Lalong, the Governor of Plateau State who is also the Director-General of the APC presidential campaign council has declared Tuesday, November 15, a work-free day in the state over the visit of President Buhari, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

This was made known in a statement signed by Dan Manjang, the state commissioner for information and communication on Monday, November 15.

The APC presidential campaign council shared the statement on its Twitter page on Tuesday morning.

Buhari and other APC bigwigs are in the state to launch the presidential campaign of the party in preparation for the 2023 general elections.
