As the primaries of the People’s Democratic Party draws closer, supporters of Peter Obi, one of the party’s presidential aspirant have embarked on a one-million-man march.

The Coordinator, Marcel Ngogbehei, had earlier explained that the event would be anchored by the Coalition for Peter Obi (CPO), which is made up of more than 12 support groups for Obi.

Ngogbehei said that the support groups included Peter Obi Support Network (POSN), Like Minds for Peter Obi (LMPO), Nigeria Needs Peter Obi (NNPO), TakeBackNaija (TBN), Women for Peter Obi (WPO), Associates of Peter Obi (APO), Peter Obi FC (POFC), Peter Obi Movement for President (POMP), Associates of Peter Obi (APO/POE) Peter Obi Candidacy Movement (POCM), Peter Obi Ambassadors (POA), and TeamOHO, among others.

The group said the event would simultaneously take place across the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on Saturday, May 21.

It would be recalled that on Friday, in anticipation of the march, Obi had called on his supporters to engage in the campaign peacefully.

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. 👏🏽
