TRAVELLERS HAIL PETER OBI, CALL HIM “OUR PRESIDENT” AS HE CLEARS TRAFFIC IN KOGI
According to an eyewitness, there had been a road block caused by angry trailer drivers and this caused traffic that extended severai miles.
A police officer had allegedly shot the tyre of one of the trailers and the trailer driver, alongside his colleagues, allegedly revolted and blocked the road, refusing to move for other vehicles.
Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the last general elections, was in the area and he left his car to plead with the trailer drivers.
The driver whose tyre was destroyed reportedly let go off his anger and posed for a selfie with Obi.
Other tanker drivers cleared the road and thus allowing for free movement of vehicles.
Nigerians who spoke at the scene were seen hailing Peter Obi, calling him “our president” in videos shared online.
