Chairman of the National Union Of Road Transport Workers, NURTW Lagos, MC Oluomo, is set to hold a 5-million-man rally for the APC’s presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
The union chairman who rescheduled the mega rally to Sunday, 9th of October, revealed that it would be for the sole purpose of campaigning Tinubu-Shettima and the second term of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu/Hamzat.
In a statement via Twitter, Mc Oluomo noted that the rally would start by 9 am at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere, and terminate at Bolade Oshodi.
“Tinubu-Shettima and second term of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu/Hamzat solidarity walk still holds on Sunday.
“This is to inform our esteemed members, supporters and lovers that our solidarity walk for the actualisation of Tinubu-Shettima Presidential ambition and the second term of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu/Hamzat will still hold as earlier scheduled.
“We implore you all to disregard the earlier postponement notice. Scheduled as follows: Date: Sunday, October 9, 2022. Take-off point: Teslim Balogun Stadium. Termination point: Bolade Oshodi. Time: 9 am. Sorry once again for any inconvenience. Thank you.”
In a similar development, another statement issued on Friday explained the reason for the earlier postponement.
The statement read: “This is going to be a mega rally, we are going to shut Lagos down for Asiwaju Tinubu and Sanwo-Olu.
“The reason why we postponed the rally initially, was because of some logistics and situations that were supposed to be put into proper perspectives which we have sorted out.
“The APC chieftains and stakeholders have blessed the rally and we are ready to roar. Maximum security guaranteed.
“We want to show our support, strength, and capacity for APC candidates because they are the best for the job at hand.
“I hereby, urge all ‘BATists’ (supporters of Tinubu) and Sanwo-Olu to come out in large numbers to tell the world that Tinubu and Sanwo-Olu are the best candidates for the presidency and governorship slots for the state come 2023 general polls.”
