The Labour Party's presidential candidate for the 2023 general elections, Mr Peter Obi, was supported by the Peter Obi Support Network (POSN), which organised one million-person walk on Saturday.
The participants marched through Old Owo Road from the entrance of Fiwasaye Girls Grammar School in Akure to Ilesha Garage on FUTA Road in Akure.
They held up signs that read, "We no dey give shishi," "We are the structure 100%," and "Obi-Datti for new Nigeria."
Francis Cyprian, the POSN Coordinator in Ondo, told reporters there that the purpose of the event was to educate the public on the importance of supporting qualified and genuine candidates in 2023.
He claimed that Nigeria required people who were capable of overcoming the country's myriad difficulties.
Cyprian said that the group supported Peter Obi’s presidential ambition because of his credibility, competence, youthfulness and desire to tackle Nigeria’s challenges.
“Today’s one million-man walk is to sensitise the public about PVC collection, stoppage of vote buying and voting for credible candidates in 2023.
“Nigerians should be true Nigerians and vote right, irrespective of tribal or religious affiliation,” he said.
The coordinator called on the Independent National Electoral Commission to test-run its machines to ensure full functionality before the general elections.
