Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, received a rousing welcome the moment he stepped into the venue of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) conference holding at the Eko Atlantic Hotel in Lagos.
Obi’s entry was greeted with screams and chants by many of the conference attendees who are mainly lawyers.
Since he joined the Labour Party as its presidential flag bearer, Obi has been receiving rousing acclamation at public outings.
At the recently concluded Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) convention held on August 12, Obi’s entry into the venue caused hysteria among the crowd who would not stop shouting, clapping and whistling with so much enthusiasm. It was the same mood at the Dunamis church in Abuja when Peter Obi made an appearance during a night vigil programme of the church.
