The Immediate Past Defense headquarters spokesman, Major Gen John Enenche Endorses (Rtd.) has endorsed the candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi Is his preferred presidential candidate.
In a video he tagged “my open advisory to Nigeria”, the retired General who served in the Nigeria military for 35 years said “its incumbent on me at this point of our national discuss on Political leadership of our dear country to speak out as an officer who served in various capacity in the Nigeria army.”
Enenche said the idea of depending on a political party to produce the president of Nigeria hasn’t yielded any result for about 2 decades thus, the need to try another thing.
“It’s observed that we have depended so much on political parties for the choice of Presidential candidates, for about 2 decades, it hasn’t produced the expected results.
“Therefore, it’s expedient to try another model in line with the current mode of the country and this should be in the form of mass concordance on the kind of President Nigerians need, not want. In this regard, factors to consider should be integrity, competence, self economic knowledge, zero corruption records (wheatear convicted or not) and above all, good health to withstand the pressures of the office of the president.
“These conditions should also apply to other elective positions at national and state levels. This should be devoid of ethnic and religious connotations.
“Futhermore, its worthy of note that followership is a function of leadership. Nigerians have seen and felt so much negativity about their leaders, hence, the difficulty in getting the right followership to tackle the myriad of economic and security challenges in Nigeria.
“This accusation has been on bad leadership and governance which should give way to the growth of a new Nigeria. This is what will win the hearts and minds of the suffering majority Nigerians to support their elected leaders.”
“Leadership is by example, if the leader does not steal, directly of indirectly from government coffers, followers will not steal.
“My dear Nigerians, let us get the right leaders and Nigeria will work. On this note, I recommend the Obidatti ticket,” he concluded.
