Enenche says his decision is based on his knowledge of Obi and his vice presidential candidate for about 17 years and 5 years respectively,, adding that both men can provide quality leadership for the Nation that would guarantee effective followership. “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.

What did he open up here..? Stop using all this people to calm the cry of the youth..Karma must certainly catch up with anyone that was involved in the Lekki toll gate massacre..BS

No depth of oath is worth the lives of young children. You are an evil man with no balls to stand for the truth. If you have integrity, you would have resigned so I pray that your children and grandchildren will face the same fate in the hands of a man who has taken an oath

We know as e dey go. The truth behind these lies and conspiracies will be revealed soon

This evil support the killing of his people is now talking

So Na so the matter wan die like that

Good

We are disappointed at you all. May we never have people like you at the helms of affairs

mystikay

Obidient people are bold and intellectual. I'm proud to be obidatti

Guys, read comments by Igbo, you will understand nepotism. Same way it played in the Igbo coup. These guys are not to be trusted, they talk from every angle of their mouths, just to get where it meets their narrative. I smell woes.

This is my issue with Igbo. Their nepotism is up there. The write up is watery, nothing tangible in it. Recall, this is how Igbo boys killed all hausa and Yoruba leaders in a coup. Ironsi did nothing. History is replaying itself. This is the main actor in lekki with Kanu.

If Buratai join Obi-dient movement tomorrow, you people will give him leadership role just because you want to get to power at all means. Imagine if your relatives are victims of Lekki Toll-Gate shooting. Are you going to praise and honour Gen. Eneche without questioning him?

I just read this mumu man statement I did not heard any remorsefulness, shame on you Enenche, least u could have done acknowledge the patriot you kill take from us, I’m glad LB party listen nd remove u

Let's give him a second chance please

If you have a hand in the massacre, God wont let you escape his judgement but for now, let's be all useful and Obidient 🚶‍♀️

It’s obvious pe a o mo nkan ti afe ni nigeria at all

Imagine Eneche making that statement as an APC member and watch how obidients dissect the man like a laboratory lizard

Make dem no go kee you for coming out to say the truth OO. 😢

Wonderful … become obident turn to a Saint

One sweet thing about this Obidient family is that they are capable of interrogating who so ever, regardless of their position or office. Abeg una too much👏👏

Thanks General sir, we have moved on

People's life were cut short... all you could do is stand on a useless oath and lied against your sons and daughters. you are not eligible to be a father.... tueh

No worry boss. Repetance is always welcomed. A peaceful and a working country is all we crave for. We are tired of living in fear and difficulties. Both christains and muslims are just God creatures and are one. Lets vote unity, peace n progress

oga you never apologise tender a public Apology so we can start from there be humble.

Rt. Gen. John 'Littlefinger' Enenche. Thanks and God bless. Lean back.

belovethchild7 I don hear he side of the story. Wetin happen no good. Buh stand aside🤧

That's why we need to be careful in life because our past will always hunt us

I think we should let him be but needs to apologize to the people for deceiving them after all he's no longer bound by the oath of allegiance. Whenever I remember the Lekki incident I weep over how our youths were massacred for just protesting police brutality.

Lol. I don't trust these people, there's a game being played here

Then what shall we do to Gen. Burutai who was the Chief of Army staff who's order was final before d Lekki massacre, who also gave d order on Shitti's massacre, Ipob massacre & many more, yet ws made d Ambassador of Nigeria to Benin Republic wht shal we do to him whn Obi tak over

Abeg get out

When the time comes, a lot of truth will be out that people can't stomach. Your father and mother have come a long way, trying to know everything about them will put you in bitterness.

We don't need blood suckers in tht party they should all go to hell

Very good response from Gen Eneche. Every wise person would understand the remorse n role he wants to play to boot out the government that enforced Endsars killings. If you expect him 2say 'I am sorry for saying the pictures were photoshopped, people actually died' you r unwise.

He is not welcomed around OBIDIENTS movement. He is part of the evils in this country

He wasn't the one that fired... He was only doing what his superior commanded him to do.

Thanks for joining this great movement for a new Nigeria

Honourable man. You are the real deal.

It's protocol some of us who are privileged with military knowledge and procedures understand this. obeythelastcommand. If we must hold him responsible we shld also hold Al mustapha responsible.. he was following instructions

True confession and sincere repentance which I Concord with you on doing that. We forgive you so that we too will be forgiven. We are on the move, forward ever,backward never, to take back our country and give humanity back to people.

He should show his allegiance through other means, Pls where is MC Oloma, hope he is hearing it. God will punissh hi m and his generation

May you burn with your allegiance

Thank God he was let go he basically said nothing.

He could have still keep quiet and say nothing and yet still have the appointment, until the Obi-datti lead campaign says otherwise, but here he is responding to the social media commentators, that is being taken for mockery by other parties let not over do our info based

I actually wonder how this guy became a general in the Nigerian Army

Recycling those who cannot unlearn is a death sentence for PeterObi's plans. 'My Oga on the top' syndrome should be a thing of the past for Nigeria to move forward. Disrespect is in and it's the only way to fail forward faster. Anything else is BS!

We should stop making excuses for him please. He stood for his employer and was the spokesperson who made that conflicting statement. He is forgiven quite alright. But it would be very selfish of him to want to be in the Limelight and forefront of this TBN fight.

We go call out Peter Obi sef if we hear pim... Obidients no dey support nonsense... PeterObi4President2023

AfamDeluxo My 2 cents on you Sir, you must be a really good man. Reading deep into your message, one can see a truly dedicated patriot. I understand you. God bless

Another ass hole! Why was he silent before now? He ought to be in jail for keeping silent before now

Mad man

A man of integrity is a man of integrity... You lied to the world,, you can't turn back the hands of time.. Nigerians have forgiven you as commanded by GOD ALMIGHTY,, but we cannot work with you... VOICEOFTHEYOUTH

This is a retired general who served under the present regime of buhari,pinching his tent ⛺️ with Obidients. Do you want to tell me, you know better than him when it comes about the very leadership of this very nation?. He knows what will be best for the nation and what wouldn’t.

It is well. We will heal as a nation and build on from there in justice & equity.

Nigerian military is a cult . This is not good for the society tbh .

Pls Obedient family let's learn to read in between d lines, this man has stated it clear dat he was acting based on d demand of his office and u know that military is all about following orders.

Then, you should resign from the position having cut up with your then statement. This is what the real new order you are preaching represent

Hypocrite!

I thought the military don’t interfere in politics

Mumu man _screenshoter

Enenche is not the one that ordered the killing but he is just spokesman . Why did he said the picture is photoshop? How did he come about with that word? He could have said something else probably that the picture will be investigated .

Everybody is becoming accountable.. That is how it should be

Obi must remove dis liar, if obedient don't start now to hold Obi accountable, he will derail. Although, Biafra will come.

Na only you people swear dis oths?.You folks in the east swore oths to kill people while fulanis swear oths to preserve their people abi. I call on the Obedient movement to tell Obi to remove this monster.If at all there will new Niaja no hands stained with blood is allowed

This statement is next to nonsense if it's not nonsense. Guy never apologized, he's jez saying trash

Obidients make we free this man, na soldier I'm be

Respect sir

Peter is bringing change and change we shall get

Obi is now a household name to every well meaning Nigeria who wants to see the country liberated from the woes of our past experience!...🎤

Man can support from behind the scenes if he is indeed repentant. To take it further, he should kuku spill the truth here and now of who was responsible without fear or favor. That truth will be liberating to all Nigerians. That's when we will know that he's changed

'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.' Obedient: we get it.

I’m OBIDIENT

Please forgive and let the man be.. He's a military man and they have very little option.. The worst a military man can do is betray his Grand Commander, at the moment Buhari. He knows what he did was wrong but there was nothing he could have done.. Just obeying order.

Peter OBI will be by all means made not to be president of nigeria becos of he is so many secrets will be released to the open and this guys are ready to fight in other not to make that happen ..

E happen abi e no happen? Talk with your full chest Oga

First of all what happened on Oct 20 was Endsars Massacre and not Endsars Incident. Let's get the designation right.

Nigerians with talking with both side of the mouth, but una say nothing happen for lekki toll gates

Chaff statement. But we moove.

We need to normalise people going to jail for crime committed in this country.

We await the correction.

TeresaMckenzy He's on the same path and influenced of his brother, Past Enenche, so they are on the same page, his action was spurred by his brother. Political statement is understandable. So Maigida go ahead with your campaign Sir Biko. We will see the results

Americans, he endorsed Barack Obama a democrat in the opposition over his parties choice candidate John McCain, While End SARS is still very sensitive and this election extremely important, Enenche be kept as a military adviser in the background rather than being in the open.

We still don't want you sir, respectfully

Oyibo!!! Nigerian.

Lead to the American invasion of Iraq where thousands have been killed, the intelligence on this was FALSE but the damage has been done, General Powell was the Secretary of State in George Bush Presidency he apologized for his wrongs based on intelligence and was forgiven by

General Enenche made a grave mistake on his statement towards the End SARS killing, extremely condemnable, 4 star General Collin Powell a man greatly Admired by all Americans made similar mistake when declared that Iraq had a weapon of Mass destruction (nuclear weapon) which

Update your fake news

Obidients pls let’s forgive him. Man has publicly apologize. Let’s secure our government first then we can prob and make investigations on the atrocity they committed on that day, Like he said.

Thank gen.

Jux_uyomi We move oooooo he's obidient and yusful

I love what Major General J. Enenche did,for at least speaking up at this critical time. What makes a great leader is to admit his mistakes and change course to do right. And for this singular action, I've most respect for him. I love men of integrity and you've exemplified one

Oath to the military comes first. You obey the last command no matter what.

I think there should be a truth and reconciliation hearing on a lot of atrocities committed in the country. People need to heal, the wounds are too deep to just gloss over We must remember that, Conscience us an open wound and only the truth can heal it - Usman Dan Fodio

YOU COLLUDED,! Simple. Oga SILENCE BREAKER. If u like dont support Obi, insecurity will sweep out the truth from your lying mouth 👄. Aiders, abeters and old liars are equal killers whether still in uniform or now wailing camouflaged wolverines. Una MUST COLLECT, wotowoto!!!!

It’s not always easy to own up to wrongs, let alone a NIGERIAN ARMY GENERAL… PO and the OBIDIENT movement really has an effect on personalities. This is accountability and taking responsibility

I just Love the Obidient movement. You guys are bold! You made a Gen. see his weak point and openly admits to it. I tap into this courage of unusual boldness because the Journey to a new Nigeria has begun; May God bless Nigeria!

If he really want us to trust him as one of us now let him tell us if there was shooting at the toll gate which he denied before, how many people did they actually killed and who ordered the killings? then we know who to direct our grievances to. We are not asking for much.

Bless your heart Gen. Enenche

It is not easy serving in the military at such a capacity.

Lol , national cake sweet 🤣🤣🤣

Wetin dey vex me in all these is that Tinubu supporters are against John enenche.

urchilla01 God Bless You General. This is understandable. It’s no secret that Every force is under and oath to the commander-in-chief. We do hope that you join every we’ll meaning Nigerian in Making right all the wrongs done to our country.

Is the oat still binding

John 8:7 (KJV) So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

If this is the PeterObi effect than I look forward to a new Nigeria indeed. This level of accountability and transparency is top notch. I respect the general’s statement. I wouldn’t be surprised if he even recanted his statement on the Lekki Massacre following this as well.

to every deep thinker I think we will gain more working with this man because he has been an insider let's reason

Hope his support is genuine because anyone who supported this evil APC agenda at anytime can't be trusted.

I see sincerity in his talk. They do take oath, he accepted n didn't deny what he broadcasted back then. Democracy is here.

Thank you sir, and God bless you more for the good work for obidient movement

I don't want your name off that list Politics fits ppl that are bold like you sir

I feel for you sir I fear APC Obedients understand

He must step down o

I understand him. He belonged to the military and had to support their decision. However, he can still support the OBIdient movement not just in a visible and official capacity.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I salute your courage

What else do we want from our leaders? Listening 👂, speaking mouth and acknowledging responsibility. For me you are on a right track.

Maximum respect Sir. This is what Peter Obi presidency will bring to the fore. Transparency, accountability and sincerity of purpose.. 👏👏

Open up on what ? Why sick news If he open up make una use handcuffs ASAP

AfamDeluxo Take a back seat sir. Thanks

You just said everything but NOTHING

MissPearls 'Oath of allegiance' ✍️

Ended up saying nothing. Nonsense

I appreciate your courage sir.. I forgive you.

While we may be unhappy with him due to the role he played then as an army general,our anger is justified. But we need all the help we can get at this point because those we are up against are far too strong. I'm sure if Buhari was to support Obi today many will welcome it. 🕊️

I appreciate his support for Peter Obi but with the situation of things right now his appointment will cause more damage than good. Let's us apply wisdom and maturity towards his case. EndSARS is still fresh n sensitive, I respect him 4 coming out. We need peace in Nigeria. ✌

Zarmaomar he is still with us. I personally called for withdrawal of that statement because this issue was personal to those who lost loved ones. I accept him to be part of our movement but am waiting for his statement regarding this, and an apology would also be important

My take is that Nigerians should begin to hold people in leadership at all levels responsible for their successes and failures in discharge of their public duties.

TochyOkwara My take is that Nigerians should begin to hold people at leadership in all levels responsible for their successes and failures in discharge of their public duties.

I have had a few opportunities to serve under men who believed and stood up for the truth, despite the pressures of the office they occupied. Gen. John Enenche falls far off from this lot. He has traded our larger good for his own preservation once. He will do so again.

It is so deep. How do these men sleep?

“Everyone 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...'

Obidients called out the enemy.. not minding his support and tribe..... Thiefnubu and Athiefku urchins are embracing known Thieves, thugs and killers with open arms.. That's the difference between we and them.

leroikris This statement by the general means nothing! He is yet to apologize for making such bogus refute of the Lekki massacre. He has to retract his words!

With his profession he really don't have options, but now he want to rewrite his wrongs.. I think we should give him the chance to do that

Thank you sir , you are a great asset to the campaign of Peter Obi.

General Enenche as a retired general you should know that there are consequences for every actions. You can support Obi in peace but just forget about appointment.

Mtcheeew!

Shameless OBIdients, just a few days back you wanted to play politics with Lekki. Now that a member of your campaign council is the one that led the military operations Lekki massacre is forgiven. Honestly Una Obidiots no well.

Continue to remain strong in your support for a better Nigeria General Enenche If Peter Obi is looking for saints in his PCC he won’t find anyone in Nigeria We are simply fighting to begin to make things a little better

Atleast he has paid his price for being wrong by coming out boldly to admit dis.....I beg on his behalf to forgive and let us all achieve our aim🙏🙏

Please share here 🙏

Obidients are actually too emotional. That's the major problem we are having in this movement. We need to start being logical. A former enemy can be used for a good course. We need to learn

Who never fucked up hands 👐 in air.....

I salute ur courage sir

leroikris there's non of us that will not do the same let's forgive him

We are approaching an era of accountability. True democracy is only being birthed. We hope for a safe and successful delivery. ObiDatti2023

Crying over spilled milk!!! Mtcheeeeew.

You are on the right part but you should do more to clear all doubts about you. I must salute your courage, not many can do what you did..... there is faith for a new Nigeria

I read Enenche's statement. It sounds like one who was committed to his military profession, now has something to bring to the table for the success of Labour Party and also sounds like one willing to rewrite his wrong.

All have sinned, and come short.. We know the rules of engagement in the military.. General it is time to put the record straight,and build together a new Nigeria. Let's move forward ⏩, Labour party Peter Obi

We're changing the narrative. We're bringing true democracy to Nigeria and Nigerians. We must give up but rather accept anyone ready to change, apologize and support this democratic movement. We all want a better Nigeria

“Every1 was right based on d info at their disposal & individual analysis. Personally & professionally, I worked with d overriding interest of 🇳🇬 at heart based on d oath of allegiance I swore on commission into military service which is sacrosanct.” S/he w/out sin cast ur stone

nt 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 . underline the word liberation effort in his statement ! It means a lot from a general ! Hope u understand

You killed thousands without hesitation, no conscience. Go kill your wife and children and tell their dead body it was a command from above.

You denied earlier, now you’re retired and you know you maybe picked sometime you’re saying you were asked to kill. So if you’re asked to kill your wife and children, I believe you should not hesitate. Hypocrite Eneche

Wetin u spoil no fit repair again oga

I don hear general side of the story. I no too blame am . He said he took oaths

This one na fk nah. This one bawo.
