  "account": "On Sunday, Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, attended an NPFL match between Ikorodu City FC and Enugu Rangers International FC at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Lagos. The Lagos-based club emerged victorious with a 2-0 win over the defending champions. Obi was seen watching the match from the stands, alongside the President of Ikorodu City FC, Sanmi Doherty. Fans approached Obi for photographs during the half-time break, and his photographer captured images of him posing with players from both teams. Ikorodu City FC also shared the match moment on their X handle, inviting Obi to witness the event. This appearance by Obi aligns with the NDC's preparations for the 2027 general election, where they recently granted him and his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, the authority to nominate key officials of the party's Presidential Campaign Council.",
