Alaba Int’l Market shuts down for Peter Obi
The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, received a rousing welcome from thousands of traders at the Alaba International Market in Ojo-Igbede , Ojo Local Government Area of Lagos State ahead of his scheduled presidential rally at Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) later on Saturday.
The enthusiastic applause and celebrations from everyone present is a clear indication of the amount of support the LP presidential flag bearer continues to receive after dominating his opponents in a recent pre-election poll conducted by Bloomberg and emerging as the “most desired candidate” for the nation’s upcoming elections, leading them with an astounding 66% support base.
The traders, who could be heard yelling, “our father is here” and “Obi” at the top of their voices, were more than happy to welcome the long-awaited change in support of the Peter Obi movement as they proudly led the rally procession.
Since openly declaring his intention to run for president in the nation’s forthcoming elections, scheduled to take place on Saturday, February 25, 2023, Obi’s popularity has greatly increased.
The former governor of Anambra State has a huge following both online and offline, warming his way into the hearts of the nation’s future leaders; the youth.
There is little doubt that the widespread discontent has largely influenced Obi’s enormous support with previous administrations and the deteriorating economic situation.
Obi is widely seen by his supporters, the “Obidients,” as the glimmer of hope for a better future in this current state of chaos and confusion.
Despite vicious attacks from opposition candidates, Obi has continued to garner strong endorsements from influential persons from the North, the East, Middle Belt, and South-South geopolitical zones, as well as well-known Nigerian entertainers and the Izon nation, making him a formidable force.
