Stakeholders of All Progressives Congress (APC) Enugu State on Saturday resolved to host President Muhammadu Buhari on Jan. 24 in a grand-style.
The stakeholders made the resolution after a meeting on Saturday evening in Enugu.
They agreed to host the Buhari/Osibanjo Grand Campaign Rally at the 22,000 seating capacity main bowl of the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu, also known as `The Cathedral’.
They also resolved to ensure that the party stalwarts bury all grievances and differences to ensure unprecedented mobilisation for Buhari’s campaign as well as his re-election victory on Feb. 16.
Speaking on the resolutions to work as one family, Sen. Ayogu Eze, the APC Governorship Candidate in the state, called on all members of the party to close ranks to give the President a `very warm’ welcome.
Eze noted that the current target of APC in the state and South-East goes beyond the campaign rallies of Buhari to the extent of re-electing him with nothing less than eight million votes in the South-East, “which is achievable’’.
