Dear Members of CPO,

Thanks a million for all you have done to support my aspiration. Our mission to salvage Nigeria is noble. As you embark on the #1MillionMarch4PeterObi tomorrow, I wish you a productive & safe outing. Above all, please keep the law. God bless you all.-PO

By Saturday, images of the march had flooded social media.

When I spoke about boycotting my conference activities this morning to join the @PeterObi 1 million man match, some thought I was just pulling some publicity stunts for Peter Obi, but am glad I proved them wrong once again. We're marching for our future.#1MillionMarch4PeterObi pic.twitter.com/HEhDT6lvY7

Nigerian leaders must learn from the #1MillionMarch4PeterObi campaign, purely powered by ordinary Nigerians.
Performance distinguishes you, it makes you formidable; play politics, but when you find yourself in office, deliver beyond reasonable doubt.
Peter Obi deserves this. 👏🏽
