The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi on Thursday, stormed the Liberation Stadium in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital and was joined by the P.Sqaure band.
Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, was at the rally with his wife, Margaret, and several stalwarts of the party and presidential campaign council.
The musical duo of Peter and Paul thrilled the supporters of the LP supporters.
However, embattled ally of Obi, Doyin Okupe who the party’s Presidential Campaign Council insisted is still a member was absent at the rally on Thursday.
A video has emerged online of the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike redeeming his promise of logistics support for the campaigns of Obi.
Wike, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has been at loggerheads with his party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar over the chairmanship of Iyorchia Ayu. Atiku, who has been to most states for campaigns, has not visited Rivers since the beginning of electioneering for 2023 general elections.
Wike will be making his choice of presidential candidate known in January and has promised to go round the country to support his candidate.
