A coalition of 56 support groups across the 13 Local Government Areas of Nasarawa state on Saturday held a one-million-man march in solidarity and support for the 2023 Labour party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

The groups, with a numerical strength of one million, marched from the College of Agriculture junction along Jos road to the U-turn linking the Lafia main market along Makurdi road, carrying several inscriptions which indicated their love and support for Obi.

Secretary of the coalition, Wilson Kingsley, said residents of the state were tired of the misrule of the All Progressives Congress-led government at the federal and state levels, which was why they came out in their numbers to support the former Anambra state governor.

He mentioned the support groups to include Peter Obi Candidacy Movement, Women for Peter Obi, Peter Obi Support Network, Peter Obi Ambassadors, Like Minds for Peter Obi, TakeBackNaija, Nigeria Needs Peter Obi, Peter Obi movement for President, Associates of Peter Obi, among others.

On his part, the State Chairman of Labour Party, Alexander Emmanuel, said the one-million-man march was held to sensitise the people of the state on the need to elect credible leaders in the 2023 elections, and to prove a point to other political parties who had alleged that the Labour party did not have a structure.

He expressed confidence that the party will win the 2023 presidential election and all elective positions in Nasarawa state, adding that, the residents were tired of bad governance and were ready to vote for the party’s candidates in the coming elections.
