A lot has been written and said to excoriate OBIdients for what can be described as their saviour-complex political narcissism.

Politics is one of the domains where human beings exhibit ultra-tribalism be it for pecuniary reasons or based on genuine ideological persuasions . Tribalism exists in everything we do be it in how we defend our religion, sect, or denomination, or how we camp ourselves in the Messi-Ronaldo or Wizkid FC-Davido 30GB divides.

Tribalism unites and divides us. Certainly, politics is where this in-group/out-group dynamic is most profound. The supporters of Obi are really not doing anything different from what, say, supporters of Tinubu or Atiku are doing. But every election cycle has a candidate favoured by most of the electorate. Because they are popular with the electorate, these favourites naturally have more people speak up for them online and offline. In this sense,clearly stand out from others.

(I would argue that Obi’s supporters are driven ideologically rather than for monetary rewards). The ideology here is simply leadership failure of maladministration of our common wealth and inequality, nepotism and corruption that had beget insecurity of live and property

'The toxic tendency of his supporters is a reflection of how irrational human beings can be when they are ideologically driven by a cause.' Corrections: A reflection of a failed leadership and many dashed hopes of Nigerians who rejected the status quo, and it's not irrational

Peter Obi reacts to Doyin Okupe's convictionMr. Peter Obi, the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has declared that the conviction of his Campaign Organisation’s Director-General, Dr. Doyin So okupe can quickly drop 13milliom ,d road to his house is bad and he worked qhj former President for 8yrs,can he mention one thing people of Iperu,Ogun state gained from federal gvt through him,NOTHING...NO TO SCAMMER OKUPE. NO TO LIAROBI..GANG OF CONVICTS. I think Peter Obi should be asked why does he surrounds himself with people of questionable character. The DG of his campaign has been convicted for stealing and he paid 13m to avoid 2 years imprisonment. The question should be didnt he steal the money Let the truth prevail. Peter Obi equally collected N27billion from Diezani, the former petroleum minister for 2015 elections under PDP govt. But as a fraudster, he betrayed Goodluck Jonathan by pocketing the money.
