The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has said that his followers and proponents of the ‘Obedient’ movement are mostly Nigerians who are enraged over the sorry state of the nation and therefore demand change.
Obi stated this on Monday while appearing on Arise TV’s Morning Show, where he responded to a question bordering on the aggressive attitude of some of his followers on social media.
According to him, while some of the uncultured social media behavior by the purported followers have come from opposing camps who often disguise as his followers to perpetrate indecency, some of the firm views expressed by his followers have come from a place of distress and deep hurt due to the deplorable state of affairs in the country.
When asked how he intends to deliver on his campaign promises, particularly given that all the other presidential candidates have made similar promises, Obi said historical antecedents of the presidential candidates should be key to determining who would fulfill his campaign promises, noting that the ruling All Progressives Congress had made several promises to Nigerians which are yet to be fulfilled to date.
