Mr Bashir Apapa, a factional leader of the Labour Party on Sunday, claimed he has the backing of the ‘Obidient Movement’ — supporters of the party’s presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi.
He stated this when he appeared on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics programme.
His words, “I think they (OBIdients) are on my side. Let me tell you why I said so. Are OBIdients not Nigerians? We’re all Nigerians.
“Everybody has freedom to say whatever he likes without investigating what really transpired. If they know what transpired, they will know that they are acting out of ignorance,”
Apapa replied when asked if he was conversant the OBIdients on Twitter are not happy with his emergency as the party’s acting leader.
He also said the party has no financial issues as widely claimed by opposition.
