2023: LP Supporters Vent As Peter Obi Shuns Yobe Presidential Rally

Disappointment appears to have entered the camp of Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi’s followers following his failure to appear at the party’s presidential campaign event in Yobe State.

According to reports, Peter Obi and his running companion, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, were planning to campaign in the North-East state.

The LP presidential campaign train was set to hold a rally at the Summit Conference Hotel in Damaturu at 11:00 a.m., according to reports.

Despite fans waiting for hours for the Labour Party candidate at Muhammadu Buhari International Cargo Airport in Damaturu on Tuesday, Obi and his running mate failed to appear.

Addressing the supporters, the North East Coordinator of the Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Council, Hajiya Hauwa, begged them not to be disappointed by the campaign’s postponement.

Meanwhile, during an appearance on Channels Television on Tuesday, Baba-Ahmed promised that if his party is elected in the upcoming presidential election, it will “fix” the “scam” of petrol subsidies.

According to news reports, Nigeria has spent N2.04 trillion to offset subsidy payments in seven months, despite intentions to spend N6 trillion on subsidies by 2023.

When asked how the Labour Party plans to raise cash to run the country if elected, Datti Baba-Ahmed indicated the party would discontinue paying the petrol subsidy.

He stated that the LP administration will deploy Nigeria’s “wasted funds” into healthcare and education if elected.

“In the first 100 days, by the time we sort the problem of fuel subsidy scam and we are able to deploy Nigeria’s wasted funds into healthcare and education, you will begin to feel it,” he said.
