Presidential candidate for the Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi, was introduced as Nigeria's President during an Easter Service at Jesus House for All The Nations Church in London.
It did however, appeared that the address by the Pastor was done in error. The congregation however, seem to appreciated the 'error' as the ensuing electric atmosphere would show.
The Labour Party candidate lost the February 25th presidential election to the ruling Party's Bola Tinubu, according to INEC’s disputed election results.
However despite the controversial outcome of the election, Obi has continued to enjoy support from millions of young Nigerians from across the country also known as Obidients. These young Nigerians see Mr Obi as a symbol of hope and endless possibilities.

Prior to the elections, Obi pride himself on these young Nigerians whom he said are his structures. This has always been his line of defense whenever the top two political parties in the country dismiss the surging Obidient movement as nothing more than social media scoundrels who wouldn't even show up at the polls.
However, with the Labour Party's shocking outing in the last election, catching the big-wigs by surprise, last minute efforts to cover up their embarrassing loss at the polls, saw the APC and the PDP outrig each other, resulting in a messy electoral process where several result sheets where heavily tampered.
There were also several reported cases of voter intimidation, suppression, and attacks across polling units in the country. In fact, the whole process was deemed by foreign observers, as one of the worst elections ever conducted in the country.
Obi who is currently challenging the outcome of the elections in court, hopes that justice would be served, and his mandate be retrieved.
