Major General John Enenche (rtd) has thrown his weight behind the presidency of Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, ahead of the 2023 presidential election.

Enenche had in a recent statement called on well-meaning Nigerians cutting across societal class to join in the current political exercise in the country towards electing credible, competent and capable leaders in 2023.

The retired Army General said he has decided to speak out and not sit on the fence, calling on Nigerians of good conscience to do the same

“Consequently, I made bold to openly and objectively support the candidature of HE Mr Peter Obi and Dr Yusuf Ahmed-Datti without fear or contraction,” he said in statement made available to DAILY POST on Friday.

“This is what Nigeria needs now to overcome all the numerous challenges imposed on the citizenry in the last two decades.

“I believe that all Obidient Nigerians among others that believe and are working towards a new Nigeria and taking our country back have the same conviction like me.

“In this regard, I appeal to all in this endeavour to allow us maintain focus to achieve this all important mission.

“Let 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 solid foundation to
Labour Party Government at all levels in Nigeria from 2023.

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

“Every one 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.

“I sincerely shared in the pains of that breaking news through the 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.”.

Today, Generals and past presidents are supporting Peter Obi openly

While corrupt political jobbers are supporting the two old ancestors parties.

When David wanted to build God a temple, God disallowed him based on the fact that his hands have soiled with blood!

Thanks for your support but you shouldn't be seen holding any position in this campaign.

Make una allow the guy. It takes a lot for a military general to make a public apology because that is invariably what he has done today.

If he says he wants to serve in the campaign council, then let him serve in it. He didn't give the orders. He was a boy boy and that is what he has just told you.

If you were in his shoes at the time he was in office, you would have hardly done differently.

Lets allow this slide, and not box PO to a corner.

FreeStuffsNG:
He is wasting his time engaging the HE obi mob

TINUBUISMAD:
Obi is our incoming President

seunmsg:
Empty words and nothing else. He says nothing sensible.

ganisucks:
He is vying for minister of defence in the next dispensation

greenermodels:
This guy is probably regretting his statements then, he made those statement thinking that he was just doing his job to a government that never subjects itself to accountability.

GodsOwnMan:
Read again. He did not regret his statement. In fact he is right. Dj witch went online and claimed that 84 people were killed by soldiers on lekki gate. Till today. No dead body. No family members. No funeral. In fact some of those 'dead' people picture on social media were proven fake as one by one they started ressurrecting from the grave.
