The Osogbo Township Stadium will serve as the location for the rally.
The Grand Demonstration Reception Planning Committee, led by Funke Egbemode, stated in a statement on Monday that the rally was not simply a meeting of party supporters but also of supporters of democracy and sound government.
The statement reads in part: “Leaders and chieftains of the APC, including the Vice-President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, members of the central working committee, national campaign council, APC governors and other national and regional structures of the party are expected at the rally in support of Mr Adegboyega Oyetola, the party’s candidate in the Osun governorship election.
“We trust that members of the APC will show the formidable strength and decorum the party is known for, even as we implore all residents and citizens of Osun to come out en-masse and in public acclamation of their overwhelming support for the APC candidate.”
On Saturday, Oyetola will compete in the election alongside others against Senator Ademola Adeleke of the People’s Democratic Party, Hon. Yusuf Lasun of the Labour Party, and others.
