Supporters of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi and his running mate, Yusuf Datti-Ahmed, comprising mostly the youths, on Monday shut down Asaba, the Delta State capital for the.second time in three days.
The enthusiastic supporters, who had earlier on October 1 engaged in road walk through the major streets of Asaba to galvanize more support for the Obi-Datti presidential ticket, in the process brought socioeconomic activities in the capital city to a halt for several hours
Monday’s road walk was not different as members of various support groups under the ‘Obidient’ Movement converged on the Inter Bau roundabout, marched through West End, Nnebisi road to Traffic Light at Ezenei junction before returning to the starting point.
Monday’s rally, however, had security cover unlike that of Saturday when the obviously self funding groups walked round the streets without security agents.
The State Coordinator of one of the groups, Kingsley Imoni-Ogbe of YES Peter Obi Support Group, insisted that the former Anambra State Governor was the only candidate among the contenders that could turn things around for good in the country.
He said the rally was a demonstration of the fact that Nigerians were tired of the old generation of politicians, adding that for the country to make progress, there was need for free air which according to him, Obi represented.
