Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), paid a courtesy call on Gani Adams, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, on Monday in Lagos.
In continuation of his campaign rally ahead of the upcoming election, the former governor of Anambra state invaded the mansion of the Yoruba leader with other party chieftains.
According to news reports, the former Anambra governor’s visit will take place two days after the LP candidate had his presidential rally at Tafewa Balewa Square.

Meanwhile, Dayo Ekong, chairman of the Labour Party in Lagos, said on Monday that Obi attempted to pay a courtesy visit to Lagos’ Oba, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, but was told by the palace that the monarch was unavailable.
Speaking about Obi’s campaign rally and the criticism leveled at the former Anambra governor for failing to pay a visit to the Oba of Lagos, Ekong revealed in an interview with Arise TV that they were told the monarch was unable to receive him.
Asked why Obi did not visit the Oba, Ekong said, “People should not say what they have no information about. Peter Obi respects culture. He visits traditional rulers in every state before going to campaign.

“In Lagos, he made attempts to see the Oba but was denied access. He wrote to the palace but the palace responded that the Oba was not available to receive him. He cannot then drive to the palace when he’s been told that the Oba is not available.”
