EKO HOT BLOG reports that a 15-year-old boy, identified as Yusuf Alami, captured in an iconic photo with the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has revealed why he stood in front of the latter’s convoy during his campaign rally in Lagos State.
The former governor of Anambra State rounded up his state presidential campaign in Lagos on Saturday with a rally held at the Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos Island, after campaigning across the 36 states of the federation.
The vice presidential candidate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, was also present at the finale, as well as the leader of the pan-Yoruba socio-political organization Afenifere, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, and other chieftains of the party.
In the picture that went viral on social media, Yusuf Alami is seen stretching his arms out wide in front of a Toyota Prado SUV, with Peter Obi standing through the open roof of the car, smiling at the teenager.
According to PUNCH, the 15-year-old boy, during an interview, disclosed that he stood in front of the convoy because of his love for the LP flagbearer.
Alami, who said he is from Ibadan but based in Lagos, said Peter Obi helps people and he would pray for his victory at the February election and ability to do well as Nigeria’s president.
