APC holds mega rally in Osun ahead of Saturday's governorship election

Dignitaries present included the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio; Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum, Hope Uzodimma; Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo; Kogi State Governor, Usman Ododo; Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa; and House of Representatives member James Faleke. This high-profile gathering, held on the final day of the official campaign period, aimed to energize the APC campaign and consolidate support for Oyebamiji ahead of Saturday’s governorship election. The Independent National Electoral Commission set August 13 as the campaign deadline.

Oyebamiji, a former Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority, has been campaigning on a platform of returning the state to development. The rally served as a major show of strength for the APC before the campaign window closed at midnight on Thursday.
