"I had the opportunity of visiting the Emir of Gaya, Alhaji Aliyu Ibrahim, with my running mate, Sen. Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed. We discussed the recent Kano's market fire incident and flooding in the north," the LP presidential flagbearer tweeted.
Meanwhile, Obi's usual dress style during the visit caught the attention of a Twitter user, Thεό Abu, @TheoAbuAgada, who was not happy over the development.
He tweeted:
"Why should anybody give up his Agbada for Obi to take picture just to appear like a ‘Northerner’?
"This is wrong and should be condemned. Let Obi be Obi and stop forcing him to wear an attire he didn’t wear from home. I am disappointed."
Northern governors allegedly set to back Peter Obi
Meanwhile, ahead of the 2023 presidential election, three notable northern governors are said to have indicated serious interest to back the ambition of Peter Obi.
This was made known on Friday, September 23, by Kayode Ajulo, a human rights activist, when he spoke with journalists in Abuja.
Without mentioning the names of the governor, Ajulo said:
“I am aware of three governors from the north who have given indications to support him."
