Rotimi Olulana, a chieftain of the Labour Party (LP), says Peter Obi is the person to take Nigeria to the promised land.
The former Lagos LP governorship candidate said this on Thursday at a book launch organised by Alaigbo Development Foundation (ADF).
Olulana said the LP presidential candidate is blessed and anointed.
“Peter Obi is the Moses of our time. He is blessed and anointed to change the whole vices and I assure you that he and Datti will take us to the promised land,” he said.
Also speaking, Ayo Adebanjo, leader of Afenifere, asked Obi’s supporters to actively participate in making him the next president.
“It is no longer a tea party. Those who are there do not want to leave but we will kick them out. I want your action, don’t let the opponents intimidate you,” he said.
“Make sure you get people into the ‘Obidient’ movement every day. Make sure you vote as an eligible voter and make their money useless that day.
“I have found in Peter Obi a person that would cool me down for a better tomorrow. Your future is in your hands and your positive action will make Peter Obi the next president.”
Reviewing the book, Dele Farotimi, a lawyer, said the book is a template for great development.
“The first chapter of the book talks about Peter Obi as a leader and not a ruler. This he has eloquently exhibited as a charismatic leader while he was governor,” he said.
“The second chapter talks about the philosophy of good governance and leadership. Our leaders are far removed from the people but Peter Obi sees himself as connected with the people and this book recalls that.
“People often believe that revolution should be about violence but it’s not. Sometimes, it comes like the attire Peter Obi usually puts on. Peter Obi understands the urgency and the need to save Nigeria.”
Clara Eromosele, who represented Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed at the book launch, said the party’s supporters should get their permanent voter cards (PVCs) ready to vote for the LP presidential candidate.
She urged supporters who don’t have a PVC to contribute towards the success of the movement.
“If you don’t have a PVC then volunteer to monitor polling units. Don’t give up and don’t bow to threats, it is time to take our country back,” she said.
“To contribute your quota to making Nigeria great again, we need to make up our minds to support Peter Obi beyond just winning the election.”
