The APC presidential candidate Muhammadu Buhari’s wife Hajiya Aisha and daughter Halima as well as Professor Yemi Osinbajo’s wife Mrs Oludolapo were in Abeokuta today for the rally.
This was the first time the family members of the opposition flag bearers made public appearances at the presidential campaign since it started about two weeks ago.
President Goodluck Jonathan was also in Abeokuta earlier for his party’s presidential campaign where he met former President Olusegun Obasanjo and some Christian leaders in the state.
Earlier Tuesday, Buhari led the APC delegation to pay a courtesy call to Obasanjo in his residence.
Obasanjo thanked them for coming, saying “I am a card-carrying member of another party but what is paramount is Nigeria, so I wish you the best.”
The APC delegation also paid a courtesy call to the Alake of Egbaland, Oba Michael Gbadebo.
Oba Alake thanked the delegation, saying Buhari is like a leader of Singapore that changed the fortune of his country for better with the help of its citizens; adding that the APC flag bearer is capable of tackling terrorism in the country.
Also speaking, vice presidential candidate Osinbajo said historically, “all it takes is one man to change a country’s fortunes. For Nigeria, it’s Buhari that will effect that change.”
