The Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress are two separate containers containing the identical content, according to Major General John Enenche, Retd.
General Enenche said what he has observed from both parties is not encouraging as they have failed to address insecurity and are notable for displaying bad leadership and corruption. He was speaking on the Channels TV show Political Paradigm on Tuesday.
He asserts that he wouldn’t know who to vote for if Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party, LP’s presidential candidate, weren’t running for president in the 2023 elections. He claims that he declared his support for Obi because he sees “integrity” in him and “liberalism” in his vice-presidential candidate, Ahmed Datti.
Enenche expressed his “pleasure” at being removed from the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council and noted that he believes a new Nigeria is emerging, where the government will pay attention to Nigerians’ advice.

He stated: “I see a new Nigeria through the rebirth that is on now. The movement that is on comprises various organs. Change in attitude, change in handling government public issues, change in every ramification. Why? The leadership is going to determine it. I see a new Nigeria coming up. We are talking about a new Nigeria; we are talking about a rebirth where you listen to the people.
“Who are the people that complained? The people that complained on Twitter were not up 1,500, so if you look at the whole population of the movement that is going to join the Labour Party and you see the principals listening to them, you are going to have a listening president, which is one of their complaints.
“I now discovered that there is a need for more effective strategic communication than ever. If that is done, in the incoming government, I believe that with the charter with which the Labour Party will operate things will be done such that everybody will matter.”
“My concern actually is insecurity, but my consolation is that the security agencies are equal to the task. Though there may be shortfalls here and there I know that we are going to wade through it. Otherwise, if you look at the reforms in the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, it’s quite encouraging, ballot boxes will not be snatched again. As voters are voting, they are allowing it to be captured and it will be recorded. So, the concern is people being prevented from going to vote but I believe that once the deployments are done properly and vigilance is maintained, that would be overcome.”
