The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023
general election, Peter Obi, has urged his supporters to be tolerant of
dissenting views and divergent opinions.
In a series of tweets posted to his verified Twitter page,
@PeterObi, on Sunday, the former governor of Anambra State appealed to his
supporters to learn from views different from theirs.
While acknowledging that “the frustration and anger in the
country” could have been responsible for his followers’ intolerance of
dissenting views, Obi appealed that the energy should be channeled positively.
He asked his supporters to express themselves with grace “so
as not to precipitately shut doors to future collaborations and sustainable
nation-building.”
He tweeted: “I sincerely thank my supporters for believing
in me and my commitment to building a united, secure and well-functioning
Nigeria. However, I appeal once more that we should be tolerant of other
people’s views, dissent and divergent opinions & possibly learn from them.
“While the frustration and anger in the country (are)
understandable, we must strive to channel that energy positively in ways that
will earn the support and collaboration of others.
“Even as our message continues to gain broad acceptance,
there are some we still need to work to convince. In expressing ourselves, we
should do so with grace so as not to precipitately shut doors to future
collaborations on sustainable nation-building. -PO.”
