ANSELM Ojezua, the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Edo
State, has said President Muhammadu Buhari would lead the party members
to Benin on Tuesday for the governorship campaign finale.
Ojezua
disclosed this while speaking with journalists in Benin on Monday and
said Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and all APC governors would be at the
event.
He said the rally would take place at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin.
The governorship poll in the state will hold on Saturday.
Ojezua
said the National Campaign Council for the election, headed by Governor
Akinwumi Ambode of Lagos State, was already in Benin to prepare grounds
for the rally.
He said all arrangements had been concluded to ensure that the event was hitch-free.
Ojezua
stated: “All logistics to ensure free movement of the visitors and
party supporters across the state have also been perfected.
“Anytime APC is holding rally, there is always mass mobilization.
“Once the people know that the president is coming this time around, our people will be so excited to receive him.”
The
party chairman called on the people, irrespective of party affiliation,
to come out in large numbers to welcome the President and his entourage
to the state.
Meanwhile, the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, the venue of the rally, is wearing a new look ahead of the event.
When
the News Agency of Nigeria visited the stadium, soldiers and other
security operatives took charge to ensure adequate security ahead of the
event.
They were also seen at major roads leading in and out of the stadium.
