Supporters of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi, popularly called Obidients, have attributed the landslide victory of the UK Labour Party candidate, Keir Starmer, over Conservative Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, to the call by Obi on Nigerians resident in the UK to vote for Starmer.>>>CONTINUE FULL READING HERE
Prior to the UK elections on Thursday, Obi had made a post on X calling on eligible voters to rally behind Starmer and vote out Sunak.
And with Starmer defeating the sitting PM in a landslide victory, the Obidients clan believe their man contributed to the win.
A post on X by the Peter Obi Grassroots Movement on Friday set the tone for the adulation.
“HE Peter Obi, is not only a Tsunami! He’s also a global symbol of good leadership. Once he called twice, Nigerians in the UK answered yesterday. Thanks so much our people.
