The Labour Party Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi, ahead of the 2023 Presidential Election has been crowned the President of the People by some agonizing Nigerians who are victims of the ravaging flood in some states of the Federation.
Obi clearly brightened the mood of the victims in Benue State on Thursday as he arrived in a canoe paddled by the jubilant youths to identify and sympathize with them. As they sighted him in the canoe the people forgot their pains and shouted ‘Obikererenke’, Obi’s popular campaign song, declaring him: ‘President of the People’ ‘Our President is here’ ‘You are our President’, ‘You will get all our votes’
The LP candidate who was moved to tears at the condition he found the people, sympathized with them and promised to assist in alleviating their excruciating hardship.
Recall that Obi had, during the week, suspended National Campaign to enable him visit and sympathize with those Nigerians going through intense pains as a result of the natural mishap.
Obi had also called on his colleague-Presidential Candidates of the other parties to do same by suspending their campaigns for the national emergency.
He continues the visit to other flood areas in the country.
