Hundreds of Lawyers in the Southwest of the Country under the aegis of “Lawyers For Change” have embarked on a peaceful solidarity rally in Abeokuta in support of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari and Professor Yemi Osinbajo Presidential ticket.

   The legal practitioners who called themselves “Progressives Lawyers” carried various pro Buhari/Osinbajo placards with inscriptions such as “Change is here, be part of it”, “Vote Buhari/Osinbajo for a better Nigeria”, “We have had enough of bad governance”, “Vote for the future of your children”, “Vote for good governance not Goodluck”,’’Change is what we need”, among others.

They also stormed some markets, including the popular Kuto, Omida and June 12 markets to distribute leaflets and sensitize the traders.
