Obi’s kinsmen from his Agulu town, Aguluzigbo Adazi Ani, Adazi Enu, Adazi Nnukwu, Akweze, Neni, Ichida, Obeledu, and Nri, shut down routes as they undertook a 20-mile march from Power Mike’s Junction, Neni, to Agulu, Obi’s community, between 7:00 a.m. and noon last Sunday.
The LP’s candidate for Anambra Central Senatorial District, Victor Umeh; the candidate for Anaocha, Njikoka, and Dunukofia Federal Constituency, George Ozodinobi; and Anambra House of Assembly candidates for Anaocha 1 and Anaocha II state constituencies, Nkechi Ogbuefi and Osita Ozogala, respectively, were among the participants at the rally.
About 40 support groups, including monarchs, students, youths, and women, participated in the march and rally, which, according to the Coordinator of the Anaocha Coalition for Peter Obi, Chief Charles Okpala, was aimed at sensitising the electorate to ensure they collect their permanent voter cards (PVCs) from designated centres from November 12 to 18, 2022.
Okpala noted that reports across support groups nationwide reveal that the LP’s presidential candidate would secure a majority of votes in at least 28 states of the federation, stressing that Obi-dients in Nigeria and abroad are in high spirits for Obi’s emergence as the next president of the country.
According to him, the campaign process to ensure Obi is elected president in 2023 is being driven by youths, and he added that youths have been properly sensitised not to sell their PVCs.
Okpala advised both the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential flag bearers, Bola Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar, to read the handwriting on the wall and consider quitting the stage before it is too late.
On his arrival in Agulu, Umeh told Obi-dients that he joined the march from start to finish to encourage youths to take ownership of LP campaigns, emphasising that their hope of producing victorious leaders in the next political dispensation is assured.
