The Labour Party (LP) standard bearer, Peter Obi on Saturday stormed Edo State days after losing the February 25 presidential election.
In a tweet via his verified Twitter handle on Saturday, the former Governor of Anambra State said he stopped by in the state to appreciate his supporters popularly known as ‘Obidients’ for their support in the just-concluded elections.
Obi also asked his supporters to extend the same support given to him to the Governorship and House of Assembly candidates of the party in the forthcoming polls.
He wrote: “I passed through Edo state today. I stopped by briefly to express my profound gratitude to the OBIdients for their support and asked them to extend same to the Governorship and House of Assembly candidates. -PO”

Meanwhile, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been given a 3-day ultimatum by the Labour Party (LP) to allow its lawyers and agents to inspect the Bimodal Voter Authentication System (BVAS) machines alongside other electoral materials or face the Obidient movement.
Chief spokesman, of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council (LPPCC), Tanko Yunusa told Saturday Tribune this in a telephone interview.
Yunusa noted that the electoral body has decided to choose what court order to obey and disobey.
The LP campaign council spokesman stated that INEC has gone ahead to start configuring the BVAS despite the court order allowing them to inspect them.
Yunusa lamented that this would tamper with the result of the Presidential Election for which the LP requested for inspection of the machines.
