Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), says some people are masquerading as his supporters to insult Enoch Adeboye, general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).
Obi in a post on his official Twitter handle
on Wednesday, said abuse or insult of eminent personalities is “most unacceptable”.
He called on his supporters to refrain from
name-calling and abusing people.
“The use of subterfuge by people masquerading
as Obidients to abuse and insult eminent personalities like Most Reverend
Pastor Enoch Adeboye or anyone else is most unacceptable. Obidients are by and
large, law-abiding citizens,” Obi said.
“While differences of opinion are normal,
calculated efforts to create ethnic or religious chasm all in the name of
politics should not in any way be tolerated. As a person, I eschew name-calling,
insults, and abuses, likewise most of my supporters.
“The suggestion that some in the fringes
engage in such conduct casually overlooks the fact that the political
opposition deploys such methods to gain undue advantage and create confusion and
bad blood.”
