Speaking to newsmen in Lagos on the planned mega rally, Chairman of PDP in Lagos State, Moshood Salvador, who also doubles as the head of publicity for the event, revealed that the rally was intended for the party to show its strength in the region and mobilise its members across the South-West states, especially as the Osun and Ekiti gubernatorial elections approach.
Salvador said that the party would also use the rally to strategise ahead of the forth coming 2019 general election, while educating its members on the current voter registration exercise.

Moreover, the rally would provide an opportunity to educate and enlighten the electorates who have not picked up their permanent voters’ cards (PVCs) to do so and guard their votes during the forth-coming elections.
