Rechargeable lights with the image of Labour Party candidate Peter Obi were given out to relatives of President Olusegun Obasanjo in Ogun State before to the 2023 presidential election.
The solar lamps were distributed at Obasanjo’s commemoration of 2022 Ibogun Olaogun Day, perhaps as confirmation of his support for Obi’s candidature.
If the lamps were purchased and customised by Obasanjo personally or if they were provided by the Obi campaign council could not be immediately confirmed by PulseNets.
Prior to the lamps being distributed to attendees at the annual ceremony, the former president was visible holding a sample of them.
The former president, who claims he is no longer involved in party politics, has insisted that the South must be represented in the next Nigerian presidential election.
Since then, he has expressed interest in South Easterner Obi.
