Desist from name calling or derogating anyone - Peter Obi warns his supporters and LP candidates - Gist Cent

Peter Obi has taken to his verified Twitter account and warned his supporters and other Labour Party candidates to desist from name calling or derogating anyone. 

Sharing the tweet, Peter Obi revealed that Nigeria is currently faced with a lot of problems and that the main focus should be on getting the issues resolved rather than insulting anyone. 

He further condemned what happened today in Edo State, where a party candidate insulted the state governor. He stated that such an act is totally unacceptable. 

"I called on the Labour Party Faithfuls, especially candidates at all levels, including my supporters, to desist from name calling or derogating anyone, groups of persons or religions." 

"Nigeria has very huge problems and is currently at risk of implosion from economic hardship and insecurity. The focus, therefore, should be on how to deal with deleterious consequences of a tanking economy, pervasive insecurity, and the many challenges that the nation is contending with, rather than degenerating into name calling."

"Specifically, during our recent campaign in Benue, a candidate referred to the Governor of Benue State, Dr. Samuel Ortom, as a "deceit." That is totally unacceptable to us."
