Nnamani was attacked by the Obidients' movements
Reacting to the backlash, Nnamani said that his followers belong to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and that they cannot labour for another party to inherit.
As a result, several of Obidient’s fans attacked him on Facebook and Twitter, causing a significant uproar.
In a new post on his verified Facebook page, the lawmaker noted that the “Obidient Movement” shouldn’t have expanded to include the governorship and Assembly seats if it is exclusively for Peter Obi.
The Senator maintained that:
“There is no Obidient PARTY! The name is Labour Party. A political party with candidates in all offices, including the governorship.
“Our party and platform are different, and that is PDP. FACT If we blur the distinction and foolishly vote Obidient that is Labour Party for President?
"For the minority ELITES it easy to reverse 2 weeks later!
"For the majority over 98percent that is major "confuse "as they say on the Streets"Confuse Yamaru" as Umu Asadu will put it!
