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.
