Massive crowd at Peter Obis FCT grassroots engagement
Internet personality, Isaac Fayose, has lauded the massive turnout of supporters at the FCT council poll campaign rally with Peter Obi in attendance, describing the crowd as a clear signal of growing grassroots support ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Reacting to the rally, Isaac Fayose in a Facebook post Thursday, said the humongous crowd that trooped out to engage with Obi showed that the message of people-focused leadership is resonating strongly with Nigerians, particularly at the grassroots level.
According to him, the chant of “Obi or nothing” echoed loudly throughout the rally, reflecting the determination and enthusiasm of supporters who believe Obi represents hope for a better Nigeria.
Fayose added that the energy and scale of participation at the FCT engagement suggest that the 2027 race will be driven by the will of the people, stressing that “it will go loud” as Nigerians increasingly demand accountability, competence, and responsive leadership.
He described the FCT campaign outing as a strong indication that Peter Obi remains a major political force, with rising momentum heading into the 2027 elections.
It be recalled that Obi had, on Monday, campaigned for candidates of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) ahead of the council poll.
During the exercise, Obi said the campaign was primarily aimed at engaging directly with local communities and promoting a leadership style rooted in service and accountability. (Nigerian Tribune)
