The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio; Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum, Hope Uzodimma; Edo Governor, Monday Okpebholo; and Kogi Governor, Ahmed Usman, have arrived in Osogbo for the All Progressives Congress mega rally. Ondo Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, and member of the House of Representatives representing Ikeja Federal Constituency, James Faleke, have also arrived for the mega rally scheduled for Thursday.

The high-profile political gathering is part of the APC’s final mobilisation efforts for its governorship candidate, Bola Oyebamiji, ahead of Saturday’s governorship election. The arrival of the party’s senior leaders and governors is expected to further energise the APC campaign as the party intensifies its grassroots mobilisation across the state.

The mega rally, coming on the final day of the official campaign period, is expected to attract APC leaders, supporters, campaign coordinators and members from across the 30 local government areas of Osun. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed August 13 as the deadline for campaigns ahead of the election, following the adjustment of the poll date from Aug.
