Owo, which is the hometown of Akeredolu, is home to many Kogi indigenes resident in Ondo.
Speaking at the rally, the Kogi governor urged the people of Owo and Ondo in general to vote for Akeredolu.
He assured them that his Ondo State counterpart would consolidate on his first term achievements if reelected.
