Nigerians Call For Removal Of Army Spokesman, John Enenche Who Claimed Lekki Massacre Was Photoshopped From Peter Obi Campaign Advisory List

Nigerians on social media are not pleased with Labour party presidential candidate, Peter Obi as he appoints John Enenche as a member of the presidential advisory council, an Army spokesman who claimed that the Lekki massacre video was photoshopped.

Mr Enenche is a retired general and former director of defence information.

Infoexpert24 reports that Mr Obi on Wednesday released a list of his campaign team, which had 1,234 names, including the army general appointed as a representative of the North-Central.

Mr Enenche’s appointment has triggered an outcry from the party’s supporters, insisting he is unsuitable to take up any position in Mr Obi’s campaign team due to his role in covering up the Lekki massacre in October 2020.

Mr Enenche had claimed the Instagram live footage of DJ Switch, which showed #EndSARS protesters dying from Nigerian army’s bullets, was photoshopped. The video of his claims has been posted on Twitter.

Mr Obi’s supporters, christened ‘Obidients’, are clamouring for the removal of Mr Enenche’s name from the campaign council.

Below are some of the Tweets infoexpert24 culled from Twitter:

@fisayosoyombo: By appointing John Enenche, an officer who claimed photos and videos of slain #EndSARS protesters were ‘photoshopped’, into his presidential campaign council, Peter Obi confirms what many have always said: he is ‘one of them’.

@ChidinduAnosike : Peter Obi should immediately remove John Enenche from his campaign team

@Nikapurce : Now after seeing that Peter Obi appoints John enenche who claimed the Lekki massacre was fake , we can now see that sowore is the right and final answer
U can’t be ally with Atiku, friend with Obasanjo and appointing evil officials and tell u are a saint ,Never

@yemishola6 : PeterObi is another big mistake in making, this is a man that takes order from IPOB, I challenge Peter Obi or his Obidients movement to stage a rally on Monday in Anambra. Now, John Enenche on his PCC list. What a shame .

@BBourlah : Peter Obi appoints this man, John Enenche that tagged Lekki #EndSars video as photoshopped a member of his presidential advisory council. The painful thing is that, same Youths are defending it. Noted.

@Chigozieweezdom : @NgLabour and @PeterObi this is unacceptable and we’ll resist it. Maj Gen. John Enenche should never have made that list. You had either remove him from the list or I’ll withdraw my support to
@YeleSowore

@aderemimoses : John Enenche the officer that called the ENDSARS pictures and videos ‘photoshopped’ being in the Labour Party/Peter Obi’s presidential campaign council doesn’t speak well of Obi. It’s a horrible appointment that shouldn’t have happened.

@royaljosh : Dear @PeterObi, We appreciate your work and message to turn Nigeria from its APC induced decline and return her to a path of production.

We however note with concern that you have included John Enenche who was against our #EndSARS protests on your PCC. Kindly remove him.

Youths

@SVPDO8 : “Why is John Enenche’s name on the Labour Party list?? He denied the occurrence that happened at Lekki tollgate. His name must be taken off!!! @NgLabour”

@88ideass : If @PeterObi doesn’t drop Gen. John Enenche, I’ll stop tweeting or posting anything about the #OBIDIENTS movement. I’ll withdraw my support for Peter Obi & my “just one” vote for him.

There should be consequences – especially when it involves life of human beings.
