Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, says he has never encouraged members of the Obidient movement to insult leaders within the opposition coalition. The ADC chieftain said he enjoys cordial relationships with key figures in the coalition and would not endorse insults against them. We are not asking for division, I personally do not in any way… you have never seen me call anybody a bad name,” Obi said. On January 20, Abubakar warned supporters of opposition leaders against trading insults, saying such attacks only strengthen the All Progressives Congress (APC). He said anyone who insults Obi or himself does not have the coalition’s interest or that of Nigerians at heart.
