Lagos was thrilled, yesterday, as the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party , Mr. Peter Obi’s campaign train arrived the city. The city was, literarily, shut down by jubilant youths, women, and adults, who struggled to catch a glimpse of the one of forerunners in the presidential election.
Meanwhile, thousands of traders at the Alaba International Market roared their support for Obi. The enthusiastic applause and celebrations from everyone present was a clear indication of the amount of support he continued to receive after dominating his opponents in a recent pre-election poll conducted by Bloomberg and emerging as the “Most Desired Candidate” with an astounding 66 percent support base.
At all the strategic locations, Obi addressed the crowd preaching non-violence electioneering and promising a new Nigeria where the people will sojourn in peace. They also decried the attack by political thugs on Obi’s supporters during his campaign, during which vehicles were destroyed, money and phones belonging to them stolen.
Obi also called on the security forces nationwide to protect those exercising their fundamental rights of free speech and assembly, warning that the people’s civil space must not shrink further than it is already. Obi told Lagosians that he and Datti were coming to revolutionise governance and create a new Nigeria, where people would live harmoniously in peace.
The man the cap fits
