Ahead of the Wednesday, February 15th mega rally of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, the party has revealed that over fifty thousand supporters will receive and give the campaign train of its presidential candidate and respected National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu a grand welcome.

The disclosure was made by Hon. Tony Okocha, member of the Presidential Campaign Council, PCC, and Independent Campaign Council, ICC, over the weekend as he expressed his conviction that APC will record impressive votes in the state at the poll.

Okocha spoke in Port Harcourt as he inspected the ongoing preparation of the Yakubu Gowon Stadium the approved venue for the rally.

Speaking after a tour of the facility, Okocha expressed pleasure with the ongoing work at the venue, stating that the PCC is working today to ensure success of the event.

Okocha stated that the state was very much ready to host the campaign train of the party’s presidential standard bearer, assuring the candidate, Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu, that the party was up for his victory.

His words: “This is the approved venue for the Presidential Campaign of the APC, which will be taking place on the 15th of February. The people here are members of the PCC and ICC, and people that were coopted from the party because of competences to be part of what we are doing.

“We have come here to inspect the facility and the works going on. One of the reasons we came is to assure and reassure our presidential candidate that Rivers State is upbeat. We are ready for him on the 15th.

“We want to assure the candidate, the party, PCC, and national that we are upbeat. Even though nothing has been advanced to us, we have taken the bull by the horns.”

He noted that nobody would sabotage what the party is doing to ensure victory of its candidate, noting that Rivers would be the first to turn in results in favour of Tinubu.

“As a people, we have assured ourselves that nobody will sabotage what the APC will be doing in Rivers State. These young men you are seeing, we have put resources together to see how much we can put in place and to mobilize a minimum of 50,000 attendees to this venue.

“To the best of my knowledge, we are members of PCC and ICC, we are not splintering. We had shown you. We are not in contention with anybody. We are united.

“Tinubu will win convincingly and overwhelmingly in Nigeria and Rivers State. If care is not taken Rivers State will be turning in the first result.”
