Peter Obi Faces Backlash Over Comments on Bobrisky (Video)

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, has drawn significant criticism for his remarks on the ongoing legal battles involving lifestyle influencer Bobrisky.

Peter Obi’s appearance on The Honest Bunch podcast, hosted by media personality Nedu Wazobia, stirred heated discussions as he touched on the controversies surrounding Bobrisky and other high-profile figures, such as Verydarkman and the Falanas, as well as institutions like the EFCC and the Nigerian Correctional Service.

During the episode, Obi commented on how much attention the nation places on issues involving influencers, suggesting that such topics detract from more pressing matters facing the country. His remarks, seemingly aimed at redirecting public focus to larger national issues, have been interpreted by some as downplaying Bobrisky’s ongoing legal matters.

In a humorous moment, Obi quipped that if certain policies favored women, some men might even consider crossdressing as a workaround. “These are entertainers who should not be put into politics. If tomorrow, our government says fuel is N800 for men and N400 for women, I can tell you the number of men that will wear female dress will surprise you,” he said with a laugh.
