Festus Keyamo, spokesman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, has taunted supporters of Peter Obi, Presidential Candidate of Labour Party, over the rallies held in Lagos.
Lagos is the stronghold of the APC Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who governed the state between 1999 and 2007 and has been instrumental to the emergence of all governors of the state since he left office.

However, on Saturday, Obidients held rallies simultaneously in Ikeja, FESTAC, Surulere, Lagos-Island-Lekki axis.
Youths trooped out to show solidarity and support for the candidature of Obi whom they said remains the hope of the country.
Commenting on a video of Obi’s supporters on the ever busy Ikorodu Road in Lagos, Keyamo said the people in the video were not more than voters of two polling units.
“The aerial shots are the best. Now, look at this: at best the ‘crowd’ here is not more than a thousand people which is approximately just two polling units.”
But a spokesperson for the Atiku Abubakar presidential campaign, Daniel Bwala, has said #Obidients rally in Lagos has shown that Obi will split the votes of Tinubu in his stronghold.
