All You Do Is Threaten, No Decorum, No Tolerance, Its Impossible To Bully Everyone—Momodu

‎In a recent statement via his official X account, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dele Momodu, has criticized what he described as a growing culture of intolerance among some supporters of Peter Obi, warning against the use of threats and personal attacks in political engagement.

‎"All you do is threaten people. No decorum. No tolerance. It is impossible to bully everyone who does not support you," he wrote. 

In his post, Momodu was reacting to online exchanges involving members of the Obidient movement, he expressed concern that political discussions are increasingly turning hostile, with individuals who hold different views being targeted and harassed.

‎According to him, democracy thrives on respect, open dialogue, and the ability to disagree without resorting to intimidation, he argued that no group has the right to silence others simply because they do not share the same political preference.

‎He stated that the tendency to attack or bully critics reflects a lack of tolerance and undermines the very principles many political movements claim to defend, in his view, such behavior could weaken broader opposition efforts by creating unnecessary divisions among people who should be working toward similar goals.

‎Momodu noted that political support should not translate into hostility toward others, he stressed that supporters of any candidate must learn to engage constructively rather than aggressively, especially in a diverse political environment like Nigeria’s.

‎While acknowledging the passion and commitment of Obi’s supporters, he maintained that passion must be guided by civility, he warned that aggressive rhetoric and online confrontations could damage the image of the movement and reduce its ability to attract wider national support.
