‘Obidients’ Are New 'Buharists', Nigerians Should Be Ready For Their Stupidity If Peter Obi Is Elected President — US Scholar, Farooq KperogiFarooq, in a series of tweets on Friday, berated Obi's supporters for their ways of engagements with people who had a different political opinions with them.
Prof Farooq, in a series of tweets on Friday, berated Obi's supporters for their ways of engagements with people who had a different political opinions with them. "If you don’t sacrifice your critical faculty on the altar of Peter Obi political idolatry, you’re against their idol. If you write any favorable article about Obi, you’re an unflinching patriot, but if you do the same for Obi’s opponents, you’re a paid supporter of their idol's opponents. They live in a world of Manichean binaries. Nuance is a strange concept to them. If Satan were to magically emerge today and endorse Obi, they’ll sanctify Satan as Angel Gabriel and sing his praises.
This is not the first time a public figure would be lambasting Obi's supporters for their intolerance and toxic nature. For instance, a social media influencer, Deji Adeyanju, had once said they were acting mad.
