The two campuses of the University Nigeria at Nsukka and Enugu were practically closedown on Thursday by students who welcomed the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Gregory Obi.
Mr. Obi is on campaign tour of Enugu and made a stop over at Nsukka where all students and lecturers trooped out en masse to receive their hero. All other activities were punctuated as a mammoth crowd intercepted Obi’s convoy and marched with him all the way to the Magaret Ekpo Refectory where he addressed the crowd.
Also, a huge crowd equally welcomed the former Governor of Anambra State at the Enugu campus of the university. Mr. Obi, who said if it were possible for him, he would visit the entire Universities, Polytechnics and all high institutions in Nigeria, urged the youths to seize the opportunity of the coming election to recover their country from those who have held it down over the years.
The Presidential standard bearer advised them to vote wisely and ensure they vote for people with verifiable records who have the interest of the youths at heart. He assured that he is coming to liberate the country from its present decay and backwardness.
“Nigeria must be recovered, and we have the ability, we are also ready to turn things around for the better,” he said.
