Support Groups stage rallies for Labour Party’s Peter Obi
On Saturday, support groups of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, staged rallies in Lagos, Ekiti, Kaduna, Asaba, Cross River, and Bauchi states of Nigeria.
The Coordinator, Peter Obi Intervention Network for Transformation, Saheed Onitilo, who confirmed the movement, added that the coming together of Nigerians to support the LP candidate showed Obi would change the face of politics in the country, adding that many of the supporters sponsored themselves to the rally.

The Coordinator, Super Volunteers for Peter Obi, Omoshalewa Junaid, said, “The rally has a character of its own. This shows that we are not just on social media. To everyone that is watching, don’t be intimidated. There are many of us supporting you; we are many, and when the time comes to vote, we will show up.”
Members of Obi support groups staged a sensitisation rally across important streets of Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, urging the people of the state to support the movement to rescue Nigeria from its present state.
The rally, which took from Ori Apata in the Adebayo area of the city, moved through the Fajuyi Park to the Basiri area and headed for the Post Office area and Ijigbo before returning to the Fajuyi Park.
The National Financial Secretary, LP, Olugbenga Daramola, said, “We need new, tested and trusted hands. We need a young person who understands our problems and can solve Nigeria’s problems; that person is Obi. That is what we are telling the people.”
Similarly, the LP state Chairman, Odunayo Okunade, said, “The Labour Party is the way to go. Other parties have given Nigerians promises, and they have failed Nigerians. Our message to the Ekiti people and Nigerians is that the country’s injury will heal soon with Obi.”
