Ahead of the 2023 presidential election, rechargeable lamps with the image of the Labor Party candidate, Peter Obi, were distributed to relatives of President Olusegun Obasanjo in Ogun State.
Solar lanterns were distributed at Obasanjo’s 2022 Ibogon Olugun Day celebration, possibly to underscore his endorsement of Obi’s candidacy.
The DAILY POST was unable to confirm whether the lamps were purchased and allocated by Obasanjo himself, or provided by the Obi Campaign Council.
However, the former president was seen carrying a sample of the bulbs before they were finally handed out to the people at the annual event.
The former president, who said he was no longer into partisan politics, maintained that the next Nigerian president should come from the south.
He has since indicated his interest in Obi, who is from the Southeast.
