From Okey Sampson, Umuahia
The Obidient Movement in Abia State, yesterday, held a 1m-man march in celebration of the birthday anniversary of the ex-presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP), in the 2023 general election, Mr. Peter Obi.
Governor Alex Otti also sent warming greetings to Obi on his birthday.
In Umuahia, the Abia State capital, Obidients gathered at Okpara Square as early as 8:30am from where they moved through major streets of the city, dancing and displaying their banners to the admiration of motorists and passersby, some of who joined in the long procession.
The joyous Obidients ended their march at the Afara Correctional Centre where they showered inmates with several gift items.
Speaking, the Coordinator of Obidient Movement in the state, Dr. Chibuzor Obiesili, said the procession, which was held simultaneously in four towns in the state, was to demonstrate what Obi stands for in society.
He said nobody sponsored or influenced them to hold the procession. Rather, they did it voluntarily to tell political leaders in country that they could always be remembered by the masses for their integrity.
