"Our President Dey Here": Passengers Mob Peter Obi in Video on Seeing Him in the Same Aeroplane with Them

• Peter Obi, Labour Party's candidate in the forthcoming 2023 general elections, was mobbed by excited passengers on an aeroplane
• The passengers happened to find out that the former Anambra governor was aboard the same flight with them and rushed him
• People tried to interact with him as well as take selfies while chants of 'our president' filled the air

A new video of Peter Obi being mobbed aboard a flight has elicited excitement on social media.

A TikToker identified as Vivian Ichoku happened to sit two seats away from the Labour Party candidate and shared the video.

No breathing space for Peter Obi

Vivian said she was nearly choked as passengers soon realised that her seatmate is Peter Obi. People left their seats and besieged their area to have a moment with the former Anambra state governor.

"Our president dey here," an excited passenger remarked in the background.

"Your excellency, we want to snap with you,'' another person appealed with joy in the background.

Efforts by a flight attendant to restore normalcy proved abortive as people hailed Peter. Peter, all smiles, had to leave his seat and would return to it later on.

Someone even begged him to address the passengers.
