The presidential candidate of the Labour Party has called on the Labour Party Faithfuls, especially candidates at all levels, including his supporters, to desist from name-calling or derogating anyone, groups of persons or religions.
Obi said this on his verified Twitter handle while reacting to a candidate that referred to the Governor of Benue State, Dr Samuel Ortom, as a “deceit.”
“That is totally unacceptable to us, obi said
“Nigeria has very huge problems and is currently at risk of implosion from economic hardship and insecurity. The focus, therefore, should be on how to deal with the deleterious consequences of a tanking economy, pervasive insecurity, and the many challenges that the nation is contending with, rather than degenerating into name-calling.
“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.
“We must continue to focus on running an issue-based campaign and unite with everyone to build a new and better Nigeria.
“I wish all our candidates, including myself, well in the forthcoming elections, Obi concluded.
