Peter Obi Receives Hero’s Welcome On His “Thank You Tour” In Delta, Edo

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, in the recently concluded presidential election, was given a rousing reception in Delta and Edo State on Saturday.

In Delta State, the crowd went frenzy and kept shouting “Obi, Obi, Obi” as the Labour Party candidate waved with a huge smile on his face.

Obi, who came third in the February 25 election, stopped over in Delta and Edo States to thank his supporters.

The Labour Party Presidential Candidate secured the highest votes in Delta and Edo, controlled by the PDP.

On Saturday, Obi was in Edo and Delta states where he received a hero’s welcome and also hailed his supporters better known as Obidients for their backing.

“I passed through Edo state today. I stopped by briefly to express my profound gratitude to the OBIdients for their support and asked them to extend same to the Governorship and House of Assembly candidates,” he tweeted about his visit to Edo.

“People who voted for me across the nation voted for hope. I have never rigged elections and have never paid anybody to do the same. I have never bought votes and I have never paid anybody to vote for me and I will never do so,” he said after a town hall meeting in the State.
