In a trending video on social media, a newly wedded couple, Mr. and Mrs.Desmond Adamson attracted a huge applause following their appearance at the Obidient Movement rally in Abuja, on Saturday.
The couple who were said to be heading home from the venue of their wedding, stopped and joined the rally along with the groomsmen and bridesmaids to the admiration of the Obidients as they are better known.
According to a video making rounds on social media, Mr Adamson, an ardent supporter of Peter Obi, presidential flag bearer of the Labour Party, adorned a wine coloured tuxedo alongside his wife who was dressed in a white overflowing gown, holding a bouquet of flowers amid other loyalists at the rally on Saturday.
Addressing the mammoth crowd who convened at Unity Fountain in Abuja, Mr Adamson reiterated his support for Mr Obi, he said he and his partner both agreed to join the rally immediately after their wedding ceremony.
“Knowing that today, which is my wedding, happens to also be the day for the Obidient movement, I told myself that after church, I and my partner will come straight to join the rally too,” said the bridegroom, beaming with smiles.
His wife on the other hand, asserted she wanted to raise their children in a country devoid of hardship and insecurity, which prompted her decision to join the rally after her wedding.
“We want to have kids in a country that is free from violence, insecurity, free from poverty and hardship. That is why I said I must be here today to lend my support to the Obidient movement,” said the newly wedded wife.
Mr Obi acknowledged their support and congratulated the newlyweds in a tweet Saturday evening.
“Salute and congratulations to this newly wedded couple in Abuja, whose special day coincided with the Obidient Family March in Abuja; and they marched too!
“Wishing you both a blissful and happy married life and children, who will grow up in a united, secure and productive Nigeria,” tweeted the Labour Party presidential candidate.
The rally which involved a long walk along a stretch of road from the city centre to the outskirts attracted a huge crowd of pro- Peter Obi Support groups and other well wishers.
