2023: Obi, running mate unveil official campaign website
The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi and his running mate, Senator Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed have released their official campaign website.
This was announced on Friday morning via a tweet from Obi’s Twitter handle.
“I invite every member of the OBIdient Family, and every supporter of our march to a new Nigeria to visit the official campaign website for the Obi-Datti Campaign organisation,” the tweet read in part.
The former Anambra state governor also disclosed that the website would be used to gather support for his aspirations for the top job of the land.
According to reports, thousands of supporters on Saturday rallied in Lagos and other cities for Peter Obi in the first major campaign march for the 2023 presidential election.
In various neighbourhoods of Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial hub, Obi’s fans filled the service lanes of the expressway as Afrobeats music blasted from trucks and people chanted his name.
Although Obi was not present at the rallies, his followers marched in other Nigerian cities as well.
