The unprecedented and intimidating crowd that marched from the Inter-bus roundabout along Nnbisi road, kept increasing as they shut down the city for over seven hours.
Our correspondent observed the passion-driven youths came out from different communities of Delta North Local Government Area around 8 am to embark on the one-million-man march in Asaba.
One of the Obi’s supporters during the march, Mr Donatus Ebere who spoke to the press said that what the group witnessed was more than a one-million-march.
He said that the one-million-march would be translated into one million PVCs in Asaba, urging supporters to ensure they get their PVCs so that the one-million-march will not be in vain.
However, addressing scanty independence attendees, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State, said there was a need to celebrate our freedom.
Okowa, represented by his deputy, Kingsley Otuaro, stressed that October 1960, remained a memorable day in the lives of Nigerians.
He urged Nigerians not to forget the sacrifices of our leaders who fought for freedom.
