Residents of Numan and Mubi local governments of Adamawa State massively turnout to receive the presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi as he took his campaign train to the state Tuesday.

Peter Obi, his running mate, Ahmed Datti and their entourage who touched down at the playing field of Government Day Secondary School in a chopper at about 16:45pm could hardly find space to walk as thousands of their supporters trooped to catch a glimpse of “Mr. Go and Verify.”

The mammoth crowd that came out since the early hours to support, see and hear from what many say is the “messiah”, was thrilled by the Labour Party candidate when he told them that “l have presented myself to serve with you to build a new Nigeria.

“l will do my best to improve the economic base of Mubi which is not only the economy hub of Adamawa but also Nigeria.”

He stressed that Nigeria had generated a lot of revenue from Mubi and it is still generating, promising that “together we will move Nigeria from a consuming nation to a producing nation.”

He urged them to vote for all Labour Party candidates in all elective positions in the state and at the national level.

Various speakers who spoke at the rally in Lokowa area of Mubi extolled the qualities of Peter Obi and his running mate, Baba Ahmed Datti.
