The Labour Party has taken its presidential campaign a notch higher as its presidential candidate, Peter Obi; vice-presidential candidate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed; and their wives, Margaret Obi and Hajiya Aisha Baba-Ahmed, have taken to different locations across the country persuading Nigerians to join the ‘Take-back Nigeria’ train.
Fresh from the nationwide campaigns rallies across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, Obi and his team have continued their whistle stops at strategic points.
The presidential candidate, who was back in Lagos Monday to meet with traders in various markets, and in Enugu and Nnewi on Tuesday arrived Owerri, Imo State capital on Thursday to a wild reception by supporters and traders in various markets in the city.
Baba-Ahmed was at the same time leading another Obi-Datti team for a royal engagement in Onitsha, Anambra State where they met with the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Alfred Achebe, in his palace.
In Benin, Edo State, their spouses engaged strategic stakeholders, the women, in a frank talk on the role of women in the emerging Nigeria.

Obi-Datti Media said that in all the locations, the message is that a new Nigeria is possible and is on the way by February 25, 2023, but the people must stand out to be counted and to make it possible.
“Securing and uniting Nigerians remain the top priorities if elected and they keep pushing the message. Without a secure environment, we cannot produce and without production, we cannot lift or give our youths jobs without jobs, we cannot lift people out of poverty and when people are poor and unemployed crimes and criminalities will keep rising.
“In Imo, the Presidential flag bearer was again confronted with a touching show of love by the people including a nursing mother with a small baby who caught the attention of the candidate and he had to lift the baby in admiration and cheer of the crowd.
“Recall that in Lagos a young teenager Alabi in a show of love had to block Obi’s vehicle just to appreciate him and in his characteristic manner, Obi prevented security operatives from forcing him out but instead met the young lad,” the media office said.
It added that what Obi-Datti and their team continue to show to Nigerians is that the job of a President and Vice President of Nigeria requires physical and mental alertness which only the duo can provide among the lot vying for the office.
