Supporters of the Labour Party Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, have commenced their rallies at the Lekki Toll Gate, and other parts of Lagos State.

 

Newsonline reports that supporters of Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, popularly referred to as the Obidients, on Saturday, defied police orders against holding a rally at the Lekki Toll gate in Lagos State.

The rallies coincided with Nigeria’s 62nd Independence Day Anniversary being marked on Saturday.

They came out in large numbers as they marched at the Lekki toll gate, shouting and hailing their candidate, Obi.

The supporters started the walk from the Admiralty Junction moving through the major road in Lekki.

 

They made stops at every junction waving flags, banners and other paraphernalia as they rally towards Jakande, Elegushi axis, an apparent move to avoid confrontation with the police already stationed at the Lekki Toll Gate.

This online media platform recalls that on Wednesday, a Lagos court ruled against the convergence of the rally on Lekki Toll Gate.

 

The court also directed the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, and the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alabi, to ensure compliance with the order.

The rally, according to the conveners, is to garner organic support for the LP presidential candidate ahead of next February’s general elections.

 

Obi, a 61-year-old former governor of Anambra State, is running alongside Datti Baba-Ahmed. The two are facing their counterparts in the All Progressives Congress, the Peoples Democratic Party, and the New Nigeria People’s Party, amongst others.

 

The rally, which is now gradually spreading to other parts of Lagos, is generating reactions online:
