spokesperson, John Enenche, has reacted to outrage from Nigerian youth over his inclusion in the 2023 campaign council of the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
“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 service which is sacrosanct.
Mr Obi, earlier in a Twitter post, also admitted to the error of inclusion of the ex-Army officer’s name among other persons. He vowed to do the needful and urged his supporters to exercise patience. However, Mr Enenche, in his statement, did not indicate whether he has resigned from his membership in the campaign team or not.
I thought you guys were better than the rest. Little did I know that you were as ignorant about military matters as the other newspapers. Eneche was not an Army spokesperson. He was the Defence spokesperson. They're not the same thing, but you guys wouldn't know.

The Labour Party had on Wednesday named the retired military officer as a member of the Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Organisation. SaharaReporters had reported how soldiers on October 20, 2020 opened fire on EndSARS protesters, who had converged at the Lekki tollgate to protest against police brutality. It's obvious most Nigerians don't understand if he had, He might as well been courrt-martialed. So the military oath didn’t guide your decision to support OBI huh? You didn't know it would backfire in this life but alas !!!
