Peter Obi Urge Nigerians To Vote For Human Beings
Nigerians Should Now Vote For Human Beings, No More Broom, Umbrella ~ Peter Obi
The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi, has urged Nigerians to vote for human beings in the coming presidential election and not brooms or umbrellas.
Obi, during his speech at the Labour Party Presidential rally in Lagos at the Tafawa Balewa Stadium on Saturday said that people had in the past voted for “brooms and umbrellas” which didn’t work out.
He stressed that it was time to vote for human beings.
By his comment, Obi was taking a swipe at the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party, whose logos were the broom and the umbrella respectively.
He said, “They tell you; you voted for the PDP, the umbrella in it has put you into poverty. You voted for the broom, they took you to poverty.”
Obi said the level of poverty in Nigeria had increased in recent times.
Speaking further, Obi said, “You voted for broom, it didn’t work, you voted for umbrella, it didn’t work, we now want you to vote for human beings.”
Obi also said he would apologize to victims of police brutality.
It was reported that at the LP rally in Lagos, no fewer than four persons were injured in an attack on the supporters of Obi by suspected hoodlums.
According to the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, who confirmed the incident said investigations into the attack had commenced.

Hundeyin, also confirmed that four persons were injured, adding that witnesses were already helping the police with relevant information.
“The Jakande Ward Chairman of the Labour Party commendably reported an attack on his party members at Ilasan Division. Four injured persons have been given medical attention. The Divisional Police Officer, Ilasan, has commenced preliminary investigations while the State Criminal Investigation Department is to fully take over investigations.
“The injured and other witnesses are assisting the Police with relevant information that would aid the apprehension and prosecution of the attackers.
“This attack is reprehensible! It is verifiable that the Command had stationed, since yesterday, patrol vehicles and officers at the Tafawa Balewa Square venue of the rally. We had already secured the venue to prevent any breakdown of law and order,” Hundeyin said in a series of tweets on Saturday.
