The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, and the leader of the Obedient Movement, who is striving to take back Nigeria from those holding it down, Peter Obi has given a reason why it appears his supporters and members of the movement are angry and combative.
“My followers and supporters known as Obedient Movement are made up of Nigerians who are very angry and furious over the pitiable state of their country and want an immediate change.”
The LP flag-bearer in the 2023 Presidential election said while fielding questions from Arise Television anchor team on Monday on the aggressive attitude of his supporters, that some dubious social media persons are hired by opponents to distort and discredit the mission of the movement, but noted, however, that some are genuinely reacting to the deplorable state of affairs in the country.
“We are aware of infiltration by opponents just to discredit but some are genuinely angry and distressed at the situation of things in the country. All I do is an appeal to them”

Meanwhile, despite the strength and popularity of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, and his counterpart in the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, the duo seem to have little or no foot-soldiers in some states in Nigeria.
The proposition of little or no foot soldiers has caused their parties not to have governorship candidates in 5 states. While Labour Party could not produce a governorship candidate in one state, NNPP is missing is 4 states.
The parties would also miss out on some state senatorial districts. Their parties did not have foot soldiers in these states because of their low visibility or a poor number of memberships, which stopped them from producing governorship candidates.
