The media head of the Obi-Datti campaign, Diran Onifade confirmed the development in a statement on Wednesday.

He said, “The Obidient plane was grounded today by the powers that be ‘for regulatory reasons’ only.

“Please ignore any mischievous rumour. Our massive rally in Ibadan is going on as planned.”

Meanwhile, supporters of Obi, popularly known as ‘Obidients’, were seen on major roads in Ibadan waving banners and clad in Labour Party’s customised shirts and caps.

The security in and around Adamasingba Stadium, the venue of the rally, is also watertight as supporters of the party form a single queue outside the stadium before being screened into the main event area.

The mood is ecstatic, and music plays in the background as supporters await the arrival of Obi and Datti.
