The experience was the same in Osun state as Labour Party faithful thronged major roads in some towns marching in support of the party’s presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi.

The solidarity rallies held in the state capital, Ile-Ife and Ilesa with supporters carrying different placards with inscriptions; “We are the structure”, “Ile-Ife walks for Obi”, “A New Nigeria is possible”, among others.

The solidarity walk in Ile-Ife took off from Enuwa square through different parts of the town to Mayfair roundabouts. While the Osogbo rally started from stadium roundabout through Ayetoro to Old garage.

Business activities in Asaba, Delta State capital, were brought to a halt as supporters of the Presidential Candidate of Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi and his running mate, Yusuf Datti-Ahmed, embarked on a road walk in the major streets of the town.

The road walk caused traffic gridlock in the town as commercial tricycle riders and other road users could not have easy movement on the road.

The road walk which took off from Inter Bau Flyover to Ogbogonogo and then back to the flyover was the first in Asaba by the ‘Obidient’ Movement, which comprises various support groups for Obi/Datti presidential ticket.

The supporters who were in high spirits, sang and danced to music from various DJs, winning more people into the fold on the way.

While expressing their resolve to vote for Labour Party in next year’s presidential election, some of them who spoke to newsmen said Nigerians were now tired of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

They insisted that the Obi/Datti ticket is the solution to the challenges of insecurity, poor economy, incessant industrial action and bad leadership.
