Major General John Enenche (rtd) has backed Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, ahead of the 2023 presidential election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a recent statement, Enenche urged well-meaning Nigerians from all socioeconomic backgrounds to participate in the country’s current political process in order to elect credible, competent, and capable leaders in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The retired Army General stated that he has decided to speak out rather than remain silent, and he urged Nigerians of good conscience to do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cConsequently, I made bold to openly and objectively support the candidature of HE Mr Peter Obi and Dr Yusuf Ahmed-Datti without fear or contraction.”<\/p>

\u201cThis is what Nigeria needs now to overcome all the numerous challenges imposed on the citizenry in the last two decades.<\/p>

\u201cI believe that all Obedient Nigerians among others that believe and are working towards a new Nigeria and taking our country back have the same conviction as me.<\/p>

\u201cIn this regard, I appeal to all in this endeavour to allow us to maintain focus to achieve this all-important mission.<\/p>

\u201cLet me state here that a good number of us in this liberation effort have a lot to give and contribute based on knowledge acquired over time in excess of thirty years, that will give a solid foundation to Labour Party Government at all levels in Nigeria from 2023.<\/p>

\u201cDear countrymen and women, following my appointment on the campaign council of the Labour Party, there were reactions on social media about my pronouncement concerning a video shot at the scene of the ENDARS incident at Lekki toll gate on 20 October 2020.<\/p>

\u201cEveryone that commented in any way was right based on the information at their disposal and individual analysis. Personally and professionally, I worked with the overriding interest of Nigerians at heart based on the oath of allegiance I swore on commission into military service which is sacrosanct.<\/p>

\u201cI sincerely shared in the pains of that breaking news through social media as it were. On this note, I want to assure all that more effort will be put in, so that all assertions can be cleared convincingly from appropriate sources.\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
