The Peter Obi Support Network (POSN) on
Saturday held a one-million-man walk in support of Mr Peter Obi, Labour Party’s
Presidential Candidate, in the 2023 General Elections.
FACTUAL NAIJA NEWS gathered that the
participants marched from the gate of Fiwasaye Girls Grammar School, Akure,
along Old Owo Road, to Ilesha Garage on FUTA Road, Akure.
They displayed placards with inscriptions
such as: “We no dey give shishi”, “We are the structure 100 per cent”,
Obi-Datti for new Nigeria”.
The POSN Coordinator in Ondo, Mr Francis
Cyprian, told the newsman at the event that it was to sensitise the public
about the need to vote for credible and competent candidates in 2023.
He said that Nigeria needed people with the
capacity to tackle its many challenges.
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.
