2023: Why Obidients are angry – Peter Obi

Peter Obi, the Labour Party's candidate for president, claims that his supporters in the "Obidient" movement are upset over the poor state of the nation's affairs.

This was said by the former governor of Anambra during an interview on Monday's Morning Show on Arise TV.

On behalf of his fans, he apologised for some of his followers' allegedly harsh behaviour on social media, claiming that they are simply calling for change.

He claims that some of the supposed followers' impolite social media behaviour has originated from other groups, who frequently pose as his supporters to commit immoral acts.

“I have answered this several times. One, there is infiltration by opponents, and there are those who believe in me who is angry. I’ve served people faithfully. I have never raised my voice at anybody.

“You cannot go and say because your son shouts at people, that is you. I’m telling them please, but some of them are angry. Some of them have been out of school for the past ten years without jobs. You cannot control their anger. All I can do is appeal,” he said.

On how he intends to deliver on his campaign promises, he said, “All of us are saying the same thing, but what makes a difference is – who can we trust? This election is about trust. We are promising the same thing, but can we look at the antecedents? Things they have promised in the past, how they delivered it or attempted to deliver it.

“Who among these people can we say have the character, the competence, the capacity, the commitment to at least do what he is saying? That is what differentiates us.”
