Obidient Movement: Senator And Social Media User Go Head-To-Head On Twitter

Nigerian Senator and a twitter user engaged in “Tug Of Words” on social media

EKO HOT BLOG reports that Chimaroke Nnamani, a former Governor of Enugu state and Senator representing Enugu East senatorial district, together with a social media user with the handle @McCa_Xn on Twitter got into a “tug of words” on Sunday

EDITOR’S PICK

In an earlier report, Nnamani has recently improved his involvement on the social media platform by routinely participating in Twitter Spaces and tweet chats with young people

Nnamani, who is running for re-election to the House of Assembly, had earlier stated in a Twitter space that, after receiving criticism from some users, he would no longer ban Twitter users who criticized him.

But the senator clarified on Saturday that there was no such thing as a “obedient party.”

“Still on that Obidient matter, there is no obedient party, the name is Labour Party, a political party with candidates in all offices including governorship. Our party is different and that is the Peoples Democratic Party. If we blur the distinction and foolishly vote Obidient that is Labour Party for President for the minority elites, it is easy to reverse two weeks later,” he tweeted.

Nnamani had also gone ahead to tweet, “We are Ebeano, our political party is not Labour Party, We are the PDP and our symbol is umbrella.”

Nnamani’s tweet attracted a response from @McCa_Xn, who called the senator, “Ewu” meaning to goat in Igbo language.

However, the senator replied the user with, “Your father and mother Ewu.”
