President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) would storm the capital cities of Oyo and Osun for the kick off of the party’s presidential and legislative elections campaign in the region.
While the Ibadan rally is scheduled to start by 10am, the Osogbo campaign is slated for 1pm.
Among those expected at the rally are Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Chief Bisi Akande, Chief Olusegun Osoba, governors of the six South western region, former governors, including Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, South west Buhari Support Organisation (BSO) Chairman, Prince Felix Awofisayo, APC chairmen in the region among others.
The BSO in the South West, will be coordinating a massive presidential campaign in Ibadan and Osogbo to drum support for the president and the party at large.
The BSO chairman, Awofisayo, while speaking on the plan for the rally said, “the South west region is very relevant and key to the election of President Buhari come February 16 because the region has the second largest number of Permanent Voters’ Card holders in Nigeria outside North West
According to him, the people of the region are well aware of the need to ensure continuity of the ongoing development in Nigeria under the Buhari administration and are determined to work towards it through massive mobilisation of voters.
He said it would be suicidal to have a government that would truncate the ongoing development, adding that, that is why the South west really is very crucial.
Awofisayo then charged electorate in the region not to be deceived by the antics of the opposition parties, particularly the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and their allies in deciding who governs them for the next four years.
