BREAKING: What Peter Obi Did Yesterday That Will ‘Affect’ ‘Obidients’, Labour Party (DETAILS)
The atmosphere in Owerri, the capital of Imo State, was filled with excitement on Tuesday, November 7, as the Labour Party (LP) organized an impressive curtain-drawn campaign in anticipation of the governorship election scheduled for Saturday, November 11.

The LP’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, Abia State governor, Alex Otti, Imo State LP Chairman, Callistus Ihejiagwa, and a host of others gathered at the Kanu Nwankwo Sports Center, Owerri, to rally support for Senator Athan Nneji Achonu, the LP flagbearer in the State.

Accompanied by other Party leaders, including Chief Chime Nzeribe and Hon. Tony Okere, Director General and Chairman of the Achonu/Nwulu Campaign Council, Peter Obi and his entourage made a powerful statement as they walked through Owerri’s popular Alaba market amidst chants of ‘we want Saturday now!’
The parade was led by power-bikers, showcasing their riding skills in a vibrant display, followed by the campaign team and party supporters, including the ‘Aku Ruo Ulo’ women who adorned their distinctive uniforms and performed captivating dances, accompanied by traditional gun salutes.
The Abia Labour Party chairman, without reservation, emphasized that the primary objective was to replace an underperforming government. He stressed that every resident of Imo State could see the challenges facing the state and urged them not only to cast their votes, but also to persuade and mobilize others to do the same.
“We must pull our people from their homes to vote. Intimidation has expired. We have only one head, and we can only die once. Be determined. Their thugs will be afraid if we come out en masse. They can’t kill anybody. When you come en masse, you can’t be overwhelmed. They cannot kill everyone but nobody will die,” he said.
In addition, Hon. Tony Okere urged the citizens to ensure victory for the Labour Party in the governorship election, just as they did in the recent Senate and House of Representatives elections.
Governor Otti expressed his gratitude as he arrived in Owerri, emphasizing that the die has been cast. He metaphorically remarked that a vigilant person cannot be taken advantage of, much like a rat cannot take anything from a person who is awake. He encouraged the people to stay alert.
“Cast your vote and monitor it; do not go to sleep. If you like sleep from now till Friday but stay awake on Saturday till the vote count up to the collation centre. Nothing is better than a good government.”
Otti in a dramatic move, introduced Obi to the surging crowd, describing him as the game changer of Nigerian politics.
In his short remarks, Obi in his usual data-based speeches, noted that suffering is just starting, citing the United Nations that predicted gloom for millions of Nigerians next year. He made it clear that there is hunger in the land and the need for change, “yet, the government is busy making budget for cars and First Lady. Imo needs a caring governor like Otti in Abia. Good government is good for Nigerian,” Obi said.
“There is hunger everywhere. Bread that used to cost N250 now sells for N1000. A bag of rice now costs N70000 – N80000. The Labour Party is for Papa, Mama and Pikin; we care for human beings while other parties have drawings.
“On Saturday, go and vote for LP, Papa, Mama and Pikin,” he counselled the crowd, who erupted with applause.
The LP flag bearer, Sen Athan Achonu, while acknowledging the massive crowd, reiterated his commitments to sanitise Imo State of insecurity to bring peace.
He said: “Did I not tell you that anybody pointing at me will make a mistake. As soon they tried it last Sunday, the Commissioner of Police was removed. The Tiger Base where they torture some innocent Imo people will certainly be desolate .
“I promised that I would protect your votes. There will be enough security to help protect your votes. Do not just vote; also follow your votes the to the ward collation centres to ascertain your vote counts.
“You can see the good work Otti is doing in Abia. I shall begin mine in Imo State in January. I have already told you what I shall do. There shall be local government autonomy; constant electricity within one year among other things in the line of action,” Achonu said.
