Supporters of Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general elections popularly known as Obidients on X platform (formerly Twitter) have celebrated the public assault and humiliation of the Lamidi Apapa-led Labour Party faction members in Edo State.

VerseNews reports that an X user, @TheSerahIbrahim posted a chaotic video which she claimed was a scene of youths in an undisclosed location in Edo State where they were attacking and beating the Labour Party faction members including the party’s factional youth leader, Eragbe Anslem.

Serah said in her post that the factional Labour Party members were attacked and beaten and hospitalised for allegedly defrauding youths in an attempt to hold the party’s governorship primary election in the state for the coming gubernatorial election.

“Organisers of the Apapa fake Labour Party group, beaten in Edo State after defrauding youths in an attempt to host a fake Labour Party Edo State Gubernatorial Primary Election and Congress.

“The self-proclaimed youth leader of the Apapa-led fake group, Eragbe Anslem was beaten by youths and hospitalised in Edo State after defrauding people in an attempt to host a congress and a Governorship Primary Election on behalf of Labour Party.

“The attackers are still on the run,” Serah wrote.

When contacted for confirmation and comments, the Edo State Police Public Relations Officer, Chidi Nwabuzor, said he was not aware of the incident and the exact location it happened in the state.

Celebrating the attack, Obidient with X username, PO_GrassRootM who also posted the video wrote, “The Lamidi Apapa-led Fake Labour Party group went to Edo State attempted to host a fake Labour Party Edo State Gubernatorial Primary Election and Congress but were disgraced by the youths of Edo State.”

Another Obidient, @ Chris_sunny11 said, “Where is Apapa and Anselem in this clip. Na them be my target, while @EqualRnJustice said, “Edo no be lagos and Imo. My Oviedos, una do well. Domo ooh.”

Also, @igboeri_kelvin described the attack as “Welcome development,” but @stevkayma who condemned the attack berated Obidients for celebrating what the X user described as thuggery.

@stevkayma said, “So they are not thugs but “youths” abi? and you complained that thugs were used to intimidate voters during the last election right, you wonder we still have bad leadership in nigeria? It because you are no different from the “people” you call bad leader?”

Also condemning the attack and berating Obidients for celebrating it, @mayokun wrote, “You mean you can derive joy in molesting others? What makes you different from those you are critical of?

“There’s no civil way of exercising dissent or difference of opinions than a resort to thuggery from a party intending to serve as a credible alternative model?”

Another X user, @SammyChukwuu who is Obidient but condemned the attack said, “This is completely wrong! And before you say anything, you no support LP reach me.”
