PSquare, Bakassi lead Obidient team
Hip hop singers, Peter and Paul Okoye, have openly declared their support for the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi. In several posts on social media, they said they are ‘Obidient’ – a name Obi’s supporters are called.
In June 2022, Paul made a post on Instagram endorsing Obi. He wrote, “My fellow Nigerians, please get your permanent voter cards. If we miss this opportunity, it is another eight years of backwardness till 2023. #Obidiently.”
On his part, Peter stated, “Please can somebody give him a chilled bottle of beer? Dear Nigerians, this is not about the North or South here.
We are no longer interested in party politics but the qualities of the candidate! If we miss this opportunity, we might never get it again. #PeterObi2023.”
Also, popular comedian, Okechukwu Onyegbule, aka Okey Bakassi, has said that he will be supporting Obi’s presidential ambition. On August 1, 2022, the comedian tweeted, “I don’t want Atiku or Tinubu to fail, I just want Nigeria to succeed.
I will support and vote for Peter Obi to fix Nigeria, so that in their old age, Muhammadu Buhari and Tinubu won’t be going to London for medical treatment and Atiku won’t live in Dubai. #SaveNigeria.”
Brymo, Badmus, Kosoko for BAT
Singer, Olawale Oloforo, aka Brymo, endorsed the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, on Twitter on May 31, 2022.
A Twitter user, Ochikolota Umunwanyi wrote, “This Jagaban (Tinubu) candidacy has truly helped me see that so many Nigerians actually don’t care about purposeful or diligent leadership.”
On his part, Brymo commented, “Yet, he (Tinubu) is the one with a plan and we all know that.
Let a city boy be president for once! I have never met the man or anyone who represents or is acquainted with him, or even his relations and political affiliates. We should stop trying to kill them off for being old.”
The singer’s comment caused uproar on social media as many people bashed him for supporting the former governor of Lagos State.
