Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has arrived in Enugu State in what sources describe as a high-profile political visit, reportedly to formally endorse Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate.
The unexpected development has sparked widespread excitement across the South East and South South regions, with reports of commercial and political activities slowing down as residents, supporters, and political leaders pour into Enugu to witness what many have described as a historic political moment.
Eyewitnesses say major routes leading to key locations within the Enugu metropolis have been flooded with enthusiastic crowds, chanting solidarity songs and waving party insignia, while security presence has been visibly reinforced.
Although official statements are still awaited, sources close to the visit indicate that Obasanjo’s presence and endorsement could significantly reshape the political landscape ahead of the 2027 general elections, particularly in the South East and South South zones.
More details shortly as the situation unfolds.
