The presidential ambition of the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi took a downturn on Thursday in Ekiti State, as his campaign experienced an extreme low turnout.
The rally is coming five days after former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo endorsed the presidential ambition of Obi, which was greeted with sharp criticism.
The rally was held at the Parapo Pavilion in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State capital.
The stadium has a capacity of 12,000 seats.
Obi’s supporters gathered in their scanty number with outfits bearing Obi’s image and also the party’s flag.
Obi and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, were joined by party leaders.
