There was a mild drama at a wedding reception where Peter Obi, the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, was ushered into a wedding reception with anthem normally sang by Bola Tinubu’s supporters.
The anthem is usually sang in gatherings where political allies of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Candidate gather to hold meetings as a mark of honour for him.
The wordings of the anthem: “On your mandate we shall stand, on your mandate we shall stand, Bola, on your mandate, Bola, on your mandate, on your mandate, we shall stand.”
However, when Obi, who is fast gaining popularity, especially among Nigerian youths in the build up to the 2023 elections, walked into a wedding reception in Lagos, the atmosphere got charged.
Immediately the MC announced his arrival, the wedding guests rushed to take pictures with him, while the band changed its song to Tinubu’s anthem, but without mentioning the name of Obi’s rival in the presidential race.
A Twitter user identified simply as Dave shared a a video of the incident with the caption: “Someone was Mobbed at a wedding in Lagos yesterday“
The video has been widely shared by supporters of Obi known as #Obidients on social media.
Recently, Tinubu and Obi engaged in a war of words.
Tinubu, in a statement issued by his campaign spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, warned Obi to call his supporters to order and allow the 2023 general election to be about issues that will advance the growth, progress, and stability of Nigeria.
He asked Obi to stop his supporters from “spreading lies, malice and denigrating other candidates”.
Reacting, in a statement issued by his Media Adviser, Valentine Obienyem, Obi said some of his opponents originated fake news, published them under false names and ascribed them to him or his supporters.
“Nigerians know the truth and that such gimmicks used to deceive them would no longer work,” he added.
