President Muhammadu Buhari is expected to lead the All Progressives Congress, APC, members to Benin on Tuesday for the finale of the Party’s governorship campaigns.
Chairman of the APC in Edo, Anselm Ojezua, told journalists in Benin on Monday that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and all APC governors are also expected.
The rally is scheduled to take place at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin.
Ojezua informed reporters that the National Campaign Council for the election headed by Governor Akinwumi Ambode of Lagos state has already arrived in Benin in preparation for the rally.
“All logistics to ensure free movement of the visitors and party supporters across the state have also been perfected,” he said.
“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 APC chieftain urged the people of the state to come out in their numbers to welcome the president and his entourage to the state.
Security operatives from different security agencies have been deployed to the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in readiness for the event.
Security personnel were also seen along the major roads leading in and out of the stadium.
