Supporters of Mr. Peter Obi, who are better known as the “Obidients” have taken to social media to mock President Bola Tinubu’s aide Bayo Onanuga and other supporters of the President over a recent comment by Onanuga where he tagged the Labour Party presidential candidate as ‘Bitter Obi’.
Onanuga made the remark while sharing a statement on his X page issued by Nwachukwu Chigozie to berate Obi.
Chigozie berated the former governor of Anambra State for applauding a mayor in Canada who praised Lagos State and Nigeria in general.
However, Nigerians on social media particularly supporters of Peter Obi have made a brand fortune out of what was widely described as a derogatory remark by a presidential aide.
Flaunting pictures of an herbal drink branded after Peter Obi they claim the drink is a treatment to ‘BATeria’, a word coined out of the President’s names, almost synonymous with bacteria.
