The Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has assured OBIdients of support, saying efforts to demarket and delegitimize the movement will fail.
The former Governor of Anambra State in a message posted on his personal Twitter handle and addressed to his supporters on Monday, called on them to bear the attacks as a sacrifice that must be made for a new Nigeria.
Obi’s message was coming following a week-long face-off between his army of supporters and Nigerian celebrated writer and Nobel prize winner, Prof Wole Soyinka.
The Labour Party presidential candidate, while lamenting attacks on his OBIdient supporters, said “most of you have suffered vituperations, physical attacks, loss of rights and privileges, hateful trolls, indignities and vexatious fighting words,even from some of those we long regarded as civic leaders and conscience of our nation. Please bear such attacks as the sacrifices that we are all required to make in order to create a New Nigeria, where justice, equity, fairness, love and prosperity shall reign.”
