The Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has taken to social media to address the issue of some of his supporters, who are always insulting or using abusive words against other supporters or people. Due to the massive love gained by Peter Obi, some of his supporters, who are always angry each time he is being criticised or insulted, normally take it as a duty to reply to the insult.
As regards this, Peter Obi reacted, while addressing one of his supporters who referred to Governor Samuel Ortom as a “Deceit”, condemned the supporter, stating that it was wrong to do so.
“I call on the Labour Party faithful, especially candidates at all levels, including my supporters, to desist from name-calling or derogating anyone, groups of people or religions.” – he said.
“Specifically, during our recent campaign in Benue, a candidate referred to the Governor of Benue State, Dr. Samuel Ortom, as a “deceit.” That is totally unacceptable to us.”
Speaking further, he stated that they must continue to focus on running an issue-based campaign, and unite with everyone to build a new and better Nigeria.
