Lagos4ObiDatti, a coalition of support groups backing Peter Obi in 2023, has announced plans for a Lagos 4-million-man march for ObiDatti.
The Lagos4ObiDatti Central Organizing Committee told reporters in Lagos that the march will take place in three major cities on October 1, 2022.
However, the group condemned any attempt to link the Lagos Obidient Rally to the 2020 #EndSars Movement.
At a press conference held at the National Art Theater Lagos, Christopher Ademuyiwa, chairman of the Publicity and Media Committee, announced that the march would take place simultaneously in three different locations in Lagos, namely Admiralty gate Lekki Phase 1; Archbishop Vining Memorial Church, GRA, Ikeja; and FHA field on 23 road Festac.
Ademuyiwa said: “This march is more like a carnival, and the Obidients in Lagos are gearing up in large numbers to show their support for the Peter Obi and Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed presidential ticket.
“Also, plans have been made to have buses transport Obidients to and from their locations, and the bus pickup points will be released on social media.
“Our march is legal and constitutional, it is within the electoral time frame and calendar released by INEC and all security agencies have been duly and formally informed using the appropriate means.
“The police, NSCDC, road safety and DSS will be on the ground to provide security as we march.”
