iBrandtv reports that Tinubu is set to hold a town hall meeting in Owerri with some private sector drivers, comprising investors, manufacturers, traders among others.
Some party leaders and members were seen gathered along the Protea Road and in front of Landmark Events Centre where the town hall meeting is scheduled to hold as early as 8.00 a.m singing and dancing.
Tinubu’s visit to the state is part of the preparation for his main campaign in the state, which is set to hold in a couple of days.
The Imo APC publicity secretary, Cajethan Duke, said the large crowd is a demonstration of enthusiasm and solidarity by party members.
He noted that “Asiwaju’s visit is not for the rally as you know. It is meant for captains of industries, manufacturers and traders in Southeast and party candidates for various positions for the event.
