Thousands of Labour Party (LP) supporters trooped out to welcome the party’s flag bearer, Peter Obi, to Lagos on Saturday, February 11.
Mr Obi is one of 18 candidates seeking Nigeria’s highest office on February 25.
The LP candidate arrived Lagos to attend a series of political activities and a campaign rally for the forthcoming elections.
Some of his supporters were already seated at the Tafawa Balewa Squre (TBS) waiting for his arrival while others assembled at Ikeja.
After his arrival, Mr Obi met with some traders and supporters at the Alaba international market in the Ojo area of the state.
His supporters were chanting his name “Obi” and waving the party flag to indicate their support for his candidacy.
In a series of tweets on Saturday, Mr Obi said he arrived with his team at Ojo area of the state, with plans to go to the TBS where a massive crowd was waiting for him.
“My team and I are in Ojo area of Lagos on a market storm ahead of the Lagos Rally. Thank you Lagos. Eko oni baje!” @PeterObi tweeted.
“We just arrived at the Alaba international market to an awesome reception. We’re pondering what the rally will be like. LP is Finishing Strong. Salute to all Obidients and the Nigerian Youths.
“We are pushing through towards TBS. We’re now on the Lagos Road Walk: the turn out is awesome. I’m really humbled!” Mr Obi tweeted.
