Many supporters of Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi have gathered to stage a rally at Lekki, Lagos.
They ignored a police order not to conduct a rally at the Lekki toll gate.
On Saturday, October 1, supporters known as ‘Obidients’ were observed in large numbers marching down the Lekki-Epe Expressway, chanting ‘Obi! Obidient!’ and also singing popular song “Emi lo kan” to mock Tinubu.
Sharing a video on Twitter, a tweep, @Nkemchor posted, “The police presence at Lekki did not stop youths from gathering. Very proud of this generation. If Lekki is your route join them!”
@eklepatience tweeted, “All we want is a genuine leader that’s ready to serve Nigerians we’re not asking for too much nah just give us Peter Obi. Festac Lagos is Obidient.”
It was reported that the Lagos State Police Command had on Friday warned against any form of rally at the Lekki Toll gate, citing the court order that prohibited it.
According to tweeps, who shared images, the rally also seemed to be holding in other parts of Lagos, like Festac town, Surulere and the National Stadium.
Another tweep, @BensonIbeabuchi, tweeted, “Youths defy rainfall to come out in support of the Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi at Lekki, Lagos on October 1, 2022.
