Bayo Onanuga, President Bola Tinubu’s spokesman, has stated that Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), is a bitter person.
Onanuga made the statement in a post on his X account on Monday, while sharing another post about Obi by Nwachukwu Chigozie @chigozie0102.
Chigozie referred to Obi as the ‘chief mourner’ in his tweet, claiming that he awoke and went to Canada to ‘practice demarketing of Nigeria.’
“Chief mourner woke up, wore his usual mourning clothes and went to Canada to practice his market to market demarketing of Nigeria, while he was at it, the Mayor of the town got hold of the Mic and started singing the praises of Nigeria, Lagos in particular. The bitter loser didn’t know when he joined his hurriedly assembled crowd to start clapping for the mayor.”
The statement might have stemmed from Obi’s recent visit to Canada, where he criticized the failure of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, server during the last presidential election.
The former Anambra State governor also complained that the current administration, alongside its agencies, had resorted to calling him names and organizing town hall meeting for him.
However, the spokesman to the presidency quoted the post on his personal X handle, writing: “Bitter Obi”.
