The coal city state of Enugu, the capital of old Eastern Region, is set to welcome the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, whose campaign will make a stop-over in the state on Thursday, January 12, 2023.
Obi, whose campaign team was overwhelmed with crowds of enthusiastic residents of Anambra on Tuesday, is expected to arrive in Enugu Thursday to meet a similar organic crowd willing and anxious to hear his message of “rescuing and rebuilding Nigeria.”
The Labour Party presidential coordinator in Enugu State, Emeka Mamah, told Obi-Datti Media that everything is set and the coal city state is agog for the former governor of Anambra.

The party’s governorship candidate, Chijioke Edeoga, also spoke in the same enthusiastic manner that the state is “complete and total” for Obi. Major General Chris Eze (retd), who is coordinating the security arrangement for the rally at Michael Okpala Square, also assured Obi-Datti Media that Enugu is peaceful and ready for Obi.
According to Mamah, in addition to the rally, Obi and his team are expected to interact with a cross-section of Enugu residents, women, students, youth groups and royal fathers.
The ex-governor may also visit the university town of Nsukka where he was nurtured for four years at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Obi-Datti Media learnt that the town sees Obi in a special way after he gave N100m donation a few years ago for the reactivation of the only School of Nursing and Midwifery in the town owned and operated by the Catholic Church.
