Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general election, has called on his supporters to be tolerant of dissenting views and divergent opinions.
He made this appeal in a series of tweets via his verified Twitter page, @PeterObi, on Sunday.
Obi said: “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.”
