Major General John Eneche has opened up on his controversial inclusion in the Labour Party presidential campaign council ahead of the 2023 elections.
The Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi was left with the option of removing General Eneche or allow him continue with the campagin, after oppositions mainly from youths criticised Eneche’s involvement. They cited a video in which he denied that there was ever shooting by the army at the Lekki tollgate during the ‘ENDSARS’ protests. Mr. Obi has since promised to review the membership list of the PCC.
Speaking on the development Eneche said on his twitter handle: “Dear countrymen and women, following my appointment on the campaign council of the Labour Party, there were reactions on the social media about my pronouncement concerning a video shot at the scene of the ENDSARS incident at Lekki toll gate on 20 October 2020.
“Everyone that commented in any way was right based on the information at their disposal and individual analysis. Personally and professionally, I worked with the overriding interest of Nigerians at heart based on the oath of allegiance I swore on commission into military service which is sacrosanct.
“I sincerely shared in the pains of that breaking news through the social media as it were. On this note, I want to assure all that more effort will be put in, so that all assertions can be cleared convincingly from appropriate sources.”
