The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi, has just arrived at the venue of the party's town hall meeting in Lagos.
This is despite thug attacks on the NDC and his supporters earlier on Thursday.
The footage showed supporters, who had refused to leave the venue despite the attack, erupting in cheers as Obi stepped out of his convoy and made his way into the hall.
The supporters were seen singing, dancing and waving NDC flags as they welcomed the presidential candidate.
The former Anambra State governor was accompanied by party leaders and supporters as he entered the venue to address the gathering.
DAILY POST reports that earlier on Thursday, suspected thugs armed with cutlasses, cudgels and stones had invaded the venue at about 11 am, forcing participants to flee.
Party supporters fought back and chased the attackers from the venue, while vehicles parked around the event centre were damaged during the violence, and one suspected attacker was apprehended.
