Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) Presidential candidate, arrived in Awka, the capital of Anambra State, on Saturday.
Obi was in the state capital for an event commemorating Governor Charles Soludo‘s first year in office.
The audience included prominent figures such as ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo and other dignitaries.
After guests noticed Obi strolling in, the governor was giving a speech when he was interrupted by a loud noise.
The LP flagbearer took a reserved seat near the front but got up to greet Obasanjo when he was informed of his presence.
It’s a very special day in Anambra. Before you walked in, my predecessor in office, and an illustrious son of Anambra in whom we are well please, Mr Peter Obi…
Before you came, I was appreciating Mr President, the father of Nigeria, who laid very clear foundations, Soludo said.
The governor’s description of the opposition leader led to another round of cheers and ovations from the audience.
