“We marched through the principal streets of London to Trafalgar Square, Nigeria High Commission, and 10 Downing Street.
“We remember October 1 as our independence from colonial rule, and the rally that followed is to ensure that at her 62 years, credible elections will be organized in Nigeria come 2023.
“We also used the opportunity to galvanise support for our presidential candidate, Peter Obi, who demonstrated verifiable capabilities, capacity, and public trust with management of public resources.
“It may not be mere coincidence that Nigeria is 62 years old today, and Peter Obi will be 62 years old come 2023, a year of the general election.
“Obi does not have egocentric character and he can rescue Nigeria from its challenges. He has the capacity for productivity, strength, and ability, and most Nigerians want him,” Chukwujekwu said.
