WITH a call on the voters to cast their ballots for its governorship candidates Prince Abubakar Audu and his running mate, Mr Henry Ojuola, the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), yesterday dropped the curtain on its campaign. The election holds tomorrow.
ACN Leader Ahmed Bola Tinubu, National Chairman of the party Chief Bisi Akande and former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chairman, now
ACN chieftain Chief Audu Ogbe were yesterday in Conference State for the rally’s ground finale.
A crowd of supporters attended the rally held at Isanlu, in Yagba East Local Government Area.
Youths and women were ecstatic to have in their midst the ACN leaders.
They specially sang the praises of Tinubu and said his presence would bring them victory as according to them, the former governor had always defeated the Federal Government.
Ojuola hails from Isanlu, headquarters of Yagba, the heart of the Yoruba-speaking Okuns of Kogi.
Audu’s campaign train arrived from Lokoja at about 12.30pm after over two-hour journey to meet Tinubu and other ACN chieftains waiting.
Before going to the rally venue, they paid homage to the community’s royal father, the Agbana of Isanlaland, Oba A. A. Ikuborije.
Ikuborije gave Audu his blessings. “God will give you victory,” he prayed.
Tinubu said he has known Audu since his days in the National Republican Convention (NRC), describing him as a reliable person.
“Now the PDP does not deserve your votes. For power shift, this is the best chance for the Okuns to produce a governor after Audu’s four years. You must work for it on Saturday” Tinubu said.
Audu said he would reinstate over 13,000 workers sacked by the PDP government create job opportunities. Audu also promised to ensure power shift to the West and Central.
