Peter Obi: Why my supporters are angry

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has said his supporters were angry over the sorry state of the country, saying they want an immediate change

The LP presidential flag-bearer said this while speaking in an interview on Arise TV on Monday.

Obi, while fielding questions on the aggressive attitude of his supporters that some social media persons were hired by opponents to distort and discredit the mission of the movement, said some were genuinely reacting to the deplorable state of affairs in the country.

He said: “My followers and supporters known as Obidient Movement are made up of Nigerians who are very angry and furious over the pitiable state of their country and want an immediate change.

“We are aware of infiltration by opponents just to discredit but some are genuinely angry and distressed at the situation of things in the country. All I do is to appeal to them.”

The former governor of Anambra State, who suspended his presidential campaign last week to enable him empathise with victims of flooding in some states, further vowed to lead Nigerian youths “in their aspiration to take back their country and rebuild it”.
