Written By Oshiobugie John

The streets of Benin City were brought to a standstill today as thousands of enthusiastic Edolites flocked to witness the Labour Party’s gubernatorial candidate, Olumide Osaigbovo Akpata, and former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi. Obi’s arrival in the ancient city sparked an incredible turnout for the roadshow, which made its way through various parts of Edo State. The event, awash in Labour Party colors, is a powerful testament to the growing momentum behind Akpata’s campaign as he gears up for the Edo Guber 2024 election.

Peter Obi’s presence in the ancient city has once again proven his magnetic influence among the people, as his entry into Edo set the stage for a day of electrifying unity and political solidarity. The roadshow, which saw Akpata and Obi waving to their supporters from an open-top vehicle, moved through the major streets of Benin, spreading a message of hope and renewal. The cheers and chants from the gathered crowd resonated throughout the city, as people from all walks of life joined in to show their commitment to the Labour Party’s vision for Edo State under Akpata’s leadership.

This monumental event underscores the growing momentum behind Akpata’s campaign, with many viewing Peter Obi’s endorsement as a pivotal boost in the final stretch toward the election. With Obi at his side, the former NBA president continues to rally the people, pledging transformative leadership aimed at revitalizing Edo’s economy, infrastructure, and governance. The roadshow not only highlighted the strong synergy between Akpata and Obi but also dispelled rumors of a rift—rumors widely believed to have been spread by the ruling People’s Democratic Party. As the excitement builds, Edolites eagerly look forward to the upcoming polls with renewed optimism.
