The rally is expected to serve as the final major mobilisation effort before voters head to the polls.

During his statewide campaign tour, Oluyede unveiled a development agenda focused on infrastructure, security, economic growth and governance reforms.

He promised to establish an Independent Power Plant to provide stable electricity, build police stations in strategic locations to tackle insecurity and construct circular roads to improve transportation across the state.

The PDP flagbearer also pledged to support small businesses through cooperative financing schemes, reduce multiple taxation, improve healthcare services and prioritise the payment of pension and gratuity arrears.

In addition, Oluyede promised to empower traditional rulers with greater roles in governance and grant full autonomy to local government councils to drive development at the grassroots level.
