Abia State chapter of the Obidient Movement has announced that its members would stage a ‘One Million Man March’ in major towns of Abia State for Peter Obi, the 2023 Presidential candidate of the Labour Party.
The group in a state issued in Umuahia on Sunday, said the
march will hold simultaneously in four major Abia towns – Umuahia, Aba, Ohafia
and Uzuakoli – on July 19.
According to a statement by one of the Coordinators of the
Obident Movement in the state, Chibuzor Obiesili and Head, Media &
Publicity Sub-committee, Mr Christian Emmanuel, the procession would be held to
mark Obi’s birthday, which comes up on July 19.
While backing Obi for adopting the African Democratic
Congress, ADC, to pursue his presidential ambition in 2027, the Obidient
Movement described the ADC as an “Organic Coalition Movement”.
“Obi believes that to dismantle the structures that keep our
people in poverty and insecurity, we must build bridges and not walls even when
those bridges are difficult,” the group said.
The Obidient Movement said apart from the One Million Man
march for the former Anambra governor, its members would also visit inmates in
prisons, hospital patients and other vulnerable persons across Abia State.
