‘I swore an oath of allegiance’ – Ex Maj-Gen Enenche responds to Obidients on #ENDSARS
Former army spokesman, Major General John Enenche, has responded to the reaction that trailed his appointment into the Presidential Campaign Council, PCC, of the Labour Party.
Enenche was still in active service during the #EndSars protest that claimed many lives in October 2020, and defended the army.
Days after Enenche openly declared his support for Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, his name was included in the PCC list.
This attracted condemnations from both opposition and some Obi’s supporters, prompting the presidential candidate to tweet on Friday that the list will be reviewed.
Enenche, in a statement seen by RovingNaija on Friday, said he share in the pains of aggrieved Nigerians but he took an oath of allegiance that he had to defend.
“Dear countrymen and women, following my appointment on the campaign council of Labour Party, there were reactions on the social media about my pronouncement concerning a video shot at the scene of the ENDARS incident at Lekki toll gate on 20 October 2020.
“Every one that commented in any way was right based on the information at their disposal and individual analysis. Personally, and professionally, I worked with the overriding interest of Nigerians at heart based on the oath of allegiance I swore on commission into military service which is sacrosanct.
“I sincerely shared in the pains of that breaking news through the social media as it were. On this note, I want to assure all that more effort will be put in, so that all assertions can be cleared convincingly from appropriate sources.
“God bless our cause for the recovery of our dear country Nigeria.”
