A newly-wedded couple joined the throng of Labour Party supporters who held a rally calling for support for their presidential candidate in next year’s election Peter Obi.
Obi himself celebrated with the couple on his twitter handle praying they would grow their children in a united, secured and productive Nigeria.
“Salute and congratulations to this newly wedded couple in Abuja, whose special day coincided with the Obidient Family March in Abuja; and they marched too!” the presidential candidate tweeted.
“Wishing you both a blissful and happy married life and children, who will grow up in a united, secure, and productive Nigeria.”
Meanwhile National Chairman of the Labour Party, Barrister Julius Abure, said rallies across the country are being driven by people’s support.
“Of course, the people must own the process, the people will fund the process because they say he who plays the pipe dictates the tune. And therefore the people are the owners of the party and that is why they are funding these activities,” he said.
“People are contributing money, N1000, N10,000, and so on to carry out rallies for themselves. People are donating their buildings and the people of Nigeria are gradually owning the Labour Party.”
