2023: Get involved, ex-defence spokesman tells Nigerians

says there should be no sitting on the fence

BY BENEDICT NWACHUKWU, ABUJA

Ahead of the 2023 general election, a former Defence spokesman, Maj Gen Enenche John Enenche, (Rtd), has called on Nigerians of means and repute to get involved in the process that will give the country a new leadership, saying there should be no sitting on the fence.

The former Coordinator, Defence Media Operations, (DMO) made the call in Abuja on Tuesday. He argued that after being trained by the Federal government with taxpayers money, he and others like him can’t afford to keep quiet over national issues as to who governs the country going forward.

“For my humble self, Major General Enenche John Enenche, it is Obi/Datti for the Presidency, come 2023. Please let’s take a que.

“Highly esteemed senior citizens and colleagues, I am Major General John Enenche (Rtd). With the attainment of this rank in the Nigerian Military, it is morally demanding on me to add value to the corrupt political environment of our dear country by speaking out.

“In the same vein, I assumed that a good number of privileged Nigerians are also in this category cutting across the academia to the public and private sectors.

“My second assumption is that all of us in this classification have the ears of the over one million suffering Nigerians.

“Thirdly, I assumed that people out there are expecting to hear from us for guidance to make up their minds about the kind of candidate they should vote for in the forthcoming 2023 general elections. Recall that the country invested so much to make us what we’re today.

“It is against this background that I’m calling on all in this group to pay Nigerians back by speaking out to the populace in order to give them direction. This is crucial in the political journey of our dear country.”

General Enenche further stressed that he has made up his mind to project and vote for the Obi/Datti ticket of the Labour Party.
