Sambo, Obasanjo, Others to Storm Ondo for PDP Rally Tuesday

The tempo of electioneering activities for the October 20 governorship election in Ondo State would be scaled up this week, as the two leading opposition parties-the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will Tuesday play host to their national leaders, who are coming to the state to give backings to their candidates.

To lead the presidential delegation for the rally for the PDP governorship candidate, Chief Olusola Oke, is Vice-President Namadi Sambo, who would lead other PDP leaders, including former president Olusegun Obasanjo; the National Chairman of the party, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, and others to Akure, the state capital.

While Sambo would be swelling the camp of Oke for the election, the ACN national leader, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, would also lead governors elected on the party's platform and other leaders of the party to Ikare, the headquarters of the Akoko North East Local Government Area to campaign for the party's candidate, Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu.

The PDP's campaign, according to the Director General of Olusola Oke Campaign Organisation, Dr. Dare Bada, is to display the seriousness of the party in wining the forthcoming election in the state.
