The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in Nigeria, Peter Obi has hailed members of the Obidients movement for climbing the Mount Kilimanjaro to mount the Labour party flag to show his support for the former Anambra State Governor.
Peter Obi while reacting to the kind gesture, posted a photo of the incident on his official social media handle, thanking his supporters for the show of love and support. He posted the photo with these words as a caption:
“I am always overwhelmed by the show of love and support from the OBIdients in Nigeria and the Diaspora. Your many acts of sacrifice reassure me of your patriotism and flaming desire to take back your country for good.
Thank you @OGersh for taking our OBIdient message to the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro. It must have been a tough journey going up there for a noble sacrifice. I assure you and every Nigerian that under my watch, Nigeria will regain its position as the pride of Africa.
It may be a tough journey, but we are not stopping, till we get to the top. -PO,” he added.
The reaction from Peter Obi is coming just days after a Twitter user who goes by the handle O’Gersh, posted a photo saying that he went to the rooftop of Africa to announce the coming of a New Nigeria. He said:
·”On Fri, 20/10/2022 after 10½ hrs of climbing, hiking and trekking, I made it to the Uhuru Peak of Mount Kilimanjaro, 5,895m above sea level. There is no better place to announce the coming of a New Nigeria than the Rooftop of Africa,” he tweeted.
He continued:
“This is the sentimental part of my Kilimanjaro climb. In planning the climb, I chose to commence climbing on 15th October, so that I would arrive at the summit on 20th October, my wife’s (Tina’s) birthday,” he added.
