It was an ecstatic moment for Yusuf Alabi, as he had a one-on-one encounter with the presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi.
TRIBUNE ONLINE had reported the LP flag-bearer was in Lagos for the grand finale of the party’s rally on Saturday.
The rally, which took place at Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS), Lagos, was attended by the Leader of the pan-Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, among other celebrities including the legendary PSquare.
During a road walk from Alaba International Market to TBS, Peter Obi was seen waving at the residents inside one of his convoys. It was during this moment of excitement that Alabi, an Ibadan-born stole the show to produce an internet sensational photo that has since gone viral.
When interviewed, the 15-year-old could not hide his admiration for the former governor of Anambra, who according to him, is people-friendly.
“I will pray for him when he (Obi) finally emerges winner (in February 25 presidential poll),” Alabi was quoted as saying in his video interview.
