Obidients at Asaba PHOTO: The PUNCH
•Say Nigerians tired of old politicians
Supporters of the presidential candidate of Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, on Monday, shut down Asaba, the Delta State capital, at a rally in solidarity with Obi.
The enthusiastic supporters, comprising mostly youths, had on Saturday October 1, staged road walk to galvanise more support for the Obi-Datti presidential ticket, bringing socio-economic activities to a halt for several hours.
Again, Monday’s road walk was not different as members of various support groups under the ‘Obidient’ Movement converged at the Inter Bau Flyover, marched through Nnebisi Road to Traffic Light at Ezinei junction before returning to the starting point.
State coordinator of one of the groups, Kingsley Imoni-Ogbe of YES Peter Obi Support Group, said the former Anambra State Governor was the only candidate among the contenders that could turn things around for good in the country.
He said the rally was a demonstration of the fact that Nigerians were tired of the old politicians.(The PUNCH)
