Recall that 74-year-old woman told journalists in Abuja on Thursday that she was attacked over her commitment to LP.

A video of a woman calling out the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, for abandoning her after she was shot by political thugs in Imo state has gotten the attention of activist, Aisha Yesufu.

The 74-year-old retired military officer, Chinyere Obi said because of the incident, she’s not happy with Obi and Labour Party.

She spoke during an interview with journalists in Abuja on Thursday, stating that she was attacked over her commitment to LP.

The retired colonel, who is a card-carrying member of the party, said neither the party nor Peter Obi reached out to her after she was shot in the leg while campaigning for the party’s presidential candidate

She said, “It was only two people who sent me words from the Labour Party. I regret, I curse the day I entered the Labour Party. I was in PDP (Peoples Democratic Party), and when Obi joined Labour Party, I followed him.”

Reacting to the report via her Twitter handle, Yesufu wished her a quick recovery.

She wrote, “Oh dear! Wishing her quick recovery.

“@SaharaReporters, did you by any chance report this story before now? Could it be sad case of many of the unreported electoral violence cases people are not aware of?

“I am curious to know at what time did she realize her confidence in #NotMyPresidentTinubu ? Was it before, during or after election?

“Also grappling at how she is not angry at those who sent the thugs (whom she now says she supports). Is it a case of Stockholm syndrome?”
