Pro-Obi Protest In Asaba

“This is happening live in Asaba (Delta State capital) now. Obi must be the president of Nigeria whether they like it or not. Our votes now.”

That was the voice behind a video making the rounds on social media.

In the video, as seen on Tuesday morning, hundreds of youths are chanting the name of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.

According to Peter Obi Grassroots Mobilisation, “The Asaba youths are protesting right now demanding that INEC should do the right (thing) and stop the ongoing rigging.”

Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC; Peter Obi of Labour Party, LP; Atiku Abubakar of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, are the top contenders in this presidential election.

While it’s a swansong of contesting for Tinubu, the ‘City Boy’, and Atiku, the former Vice President, 70 and 76 years old, respectively, Peter Obi, aged 61, carries the hope of millions of Nigerians, especially youths demanding a new beginning.
