Obi’s supporters popularly known as ‘Obidients’ are already mobilizing to the venue in large numbers.. while some of them trekking to the venue in a procession, while others in buses.
Lagos appears to be the epicenter of the Obidients, with many polls indicating that the former Anambra governor stands a chance of winning the state.
However, the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, whose stronghold is Lagos, may put up a strong fight to avoid being embarrassed in his state.
Some Obi’s supporters have already alleged attacks by hoodlums in Lagos as the standard bearer concludes his campaign with a rally in the state on Saturday.
Videos and pictures shared on social media showed some individuals with bruises, as well as vandalized buses and cars purportedly deployed to transport supporters for the various events to be held by the party.
Before his final stop in Lagos on Saturday, Peter Obi took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the seemingly overwhelming support he has received.
“Today, the LP and Obidient Family will conclude the State rallies in Lagos. It’s been a whirlwind and a very value-added experience across the 36 States,” he said.
“Thank you Nigerians for engaging constructively. The Mission to take back Nigeria is real and the core objective is in sight. Let’s make it happen. Saving Nigeria is Now or Never.”
Around 11 am, Obi arrived at Alaba International Market, his first stop in Lagos. He is expected to address his supporters before moving to a town hall and finally the campaign rally at Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS).
The LP candidate said he has travelled round the country and he is more abreast of the problems now than ever, telling the traders and their families to hold him responsible.
According to him, the market was built by hard-working people and since then, nothing has been done by the government to improve the market. He promised to come back as President to address all the issues confronting the area.
Obi urged the supporters not to allow anyone to intimidate them, following rumours he heard that a vote for him would result in negative consequences for them. He promised to stand solidly by them no matter what, as according to him Nigeria belongs to all.
KanyiDaily recalls that Peter Obi is already leading Bola Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar in many polls, including the latest by global media giant, Bloomberg.
