Recall that supporters of Obi have recently organized rallies in some parts of the country to show solidarity for the former Anambra governor’s presidential aspiration.
GWG reports that supporters of Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi in Nasarawa State on Saturday shut down activities in the state capital, Lafia as they came out in a show of force to the dismay of critics.
The supporters cutting across several support groups also effectively shut down commercial activities in Lafia after they shut down their businesses and also took to the streets paralysing road movement.
GWG, however, reports that the plan for an Obidient Movement march in Kaduna is significant for at least two reasons.
Kaduna is the political capital of the North and a significant support for Obi could snowball into the rest of the North. Secondly, Obi’s running mate is from Zaria, Kaduna, El-Rufai’s hometown.

The twitter user tagged the walk “ Kaduna Two Million March for Peter Obi”.
