ObiDatti 2023 Campaign: Supporters of Peter Obi hold rallies in Lagos, Edo, other States

Supporters of Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi commenced their rallies in major cities in the country Saturday, coinciding with Nigeria’s 62nd Independence Day Anniversary.

The Labour Party candidate supporters aka ‘Obidients’ converged at strategic locations in Lagos, Kaduna, Abia, Edo, among other states in Nigeria.

In Lagos, the supporters started the walk from the Admiralty Junction moving through the major road in Lekki.

They made stops at every junction waving flags, banners and other paraphernalia as they rally towards Jakande, Elegushi axis, an apparent move to avoid confrontation with the police already stationed at the Lekki Toll Gate.

On Wednesday, a Lagos court ruled against the convergence of the rally on Lekki Toll Gate.

The court also directed the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, and the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alabi, to ensure compliance with the order.

The rally, according to the conveners, is to garner organic support for the LP presidential candidate ahead of next February’s general elections.

One million man rally is ongoing in Kaduna state in support of the Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi.

Newlyweds on Saturday joined a rally by supporters of Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi in Benin City, the Edo State capital in Nigeria’s South-South geopolitical zone.

Obi’s supporters converged at the Famous Ring Road in the state capital waving flags of the Labour Party bearing photos of the former Anambra State governor.

It would be recalled that last Saturday, Obi saluted a newly-wedded couple who joined his supporters for a solidarity rally in Abuja.

Obi, a 61-year-old former governor of Anambra State, is running alongside Datti Baba-Ahmed. The two are facing their counterparts in the All Progressives Congress, the Peoples Democratic Party, and the New Nigeria People’s Party, amongst others.
