Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of Labour Party has been forced by Nigerian youths and #EndSARS demonstrators to reverse the appointment of a retired Army General John Enenche drafted into the Labour Party’s presidential advisory council on Wednesday.
Enenche, a former director of information who made the 1,234-man Obi-Datti campaign team from the North-Central, claimed the killings of #EndSARS protesters in 2020 at Lekki Toll Gate, Lagos was false.
The ex-General had claimed the Instagram live footage of DJ Switch, which showed #EndSARS protesters dying from Nigerian army’s bullets, was photoshopped.
The video of his claims has surfaced again on Twitter nearly two years after the gruesome incident where men in military uniform invaded the venue of the protest in Lekki and shot at unarmed youth protesters.
In line with the desires of his supporters, Peter Obi and his Campaign Council dropped General Enenche this evening.
This wa confirmed in a tweet by
Peter Obi Grassroots Mobilization: “BREAKING: Gen. John Enenche has been removed from the Labour Party PCC. Dear Obidients, we are here for you because you’re our strength your voices does matter to us. Thanks so much. #PeterObi4President2023“
@Esteembehemoth: “Major Gen. John Enenche removed from the Labour Party PCC. I love people who listen.”
Below are some of the earlier comments on Twitter condemning Enenche’s inclusion in the list:
‘Demola Olarewaju: “Few days ago, I tweeted to condemn the denial of the #LekkiMassacre by MC Oluomo during a falsely numbered rally for Bola Tinubu. Labour Party, on its highest presidential council, deploying someone who officially denied it on behalf of APC Govt is a total mockery of #EndSARS.”
@IruefiNG: “The Enenche brothers. One is a military General, the other is a General-overseer of a church. These 2 brothers have given a lot to this movement. Paul Enenche was the first pastor to invite Obi to his church, the General was the first General & top official to endorse Obi.”
