Peter Obi under fire over controversial "It's our turn" comment

He asked if there is a market where Yoruba people buy things at a cheaper rate now when the prices of things have gone up.

Obi stated this during an interview on The Honest Bunch with Nedu and his crew.

“Let’s talk about what is happening today, rice is N100,000 and we are not even sure where we are gonna be with this situation.

“It is our turn, he is a Yoruba man. Ask the people in Ogun here, is there a plan where you people buy bread cheaper? So I can follow you this night and buy one.”

What has Yoruba man got to do with this? Igbo man mentality.

@Mayordavid_9


This coming from a presidential aspirant shows how so tribalistic this man is. If this was coming from an ordinary person I would overlook… but Peter Obi saying this after majority of Yoruba people voted for him in Lagos and Oyo.
Shame on him.

@Laykay0808

This is a low for a presidential aspirant to talk this way.
Is he not aware Yorubas votes and others made him win in Lagos?

@Horlartunjee1

He can make his point without mentioning that “ he is Yoruba.” Many Yorubas supported and voted for him.

@JubaOluwaseun
This man is Nigeria’s number one tribalistic fraud. The Yoruba voted for him en masse, across Lagos, Ekiti, Ogun, and Osun. Even in Kwara, the Yoruba voted for this fraudulent individual. Now, compare this to what Tinubu achieved in his region.

@Ohiss_
This man keeps making careless insensitive statements to please the media and the mobs.

@adex_smithjr
There’s no way people think this guy is a presidential material. A tribal bigot is what he is, and he’ll never smell that.

This is the LEGACY of Donald Trump.

LOSERS lose elections and resort to HATE and DIVISIVENESS.

Imagine a former governor and SUPPOSED businessman who has been DONATING millions of Naira trying to TROLL people who are genuinely STRUGGLING by asking them for where they buy bread for a cheap price.

As if the economy affects him.

Attacking people because they did NOT vote for you is the habit of a bitter LOSER.

ONE thing is guaranteed though:

Peter Obi will NEVER be President of Nigeria.

Oh so we are to forget how Ibo politicians and socallef elders were demanding that both leading political parties like the APC and PDP zone the ticket to SE .

We should forget that Obi left the PDP out of protest of the party not zoning the ticket to a SE candidate.

We should forget that LP that gave Obi the ticket on a platter of gold got near 100% votes in the SE because they fielded an Ibo man.

Whatever these ibos accuse you of, know that they are merely projecting and gasslighting you for they are always a million times guilty of what they accuse others of.

Did Tinubu not say “Yoruba lokan”, did he not say “Emilokan”? Those were the bane and backbone of his campaign.

Was it not because PDP refused to zone their Presidential ticket to the SE?

Both APC and PDP were being pressured by your useless Ohaneze to zone their Presidential slot to the SE.

So why are you guys now accusing Tinubu and SW of tribalism when long before Tinubu even got the APC nomination , fools from every quarter in your yeast was demanding that the Presidency be zoned to the SE.

Why did Obi leave PDP in the first place before they did their primaries?

Was it not because the Party refused to zone their ticket to any particular zone and opened the floor to all?

Why did you Ibos all vote LP ? Was it not because it had this fraudulent Ibo man as it's flag bearer?

Where your politicians, so-called elders and journalists not disturbing our space by demanding that both the APC and PDP zone their Presidential ticket to the SE?

The real tribalists are you Ibos who made nonesense of the last election by making it based purely on ethno-religious sentiments.

Fool, Tinubu was addressing his loyalists and political prodigies when he made that statement .

He was telling them that it was now his turn to be supported by them to achieve his ambition after helping them get to where they where now.

Besides, Tinubu's Emo Likan which translates to "it's my turn" did not mean it's Yoruba turn.

The people who were shouting and crying that it's the turn of their tribe to rule Nigeria were you Ibos and you began that clamour long before Tinubu got the Presidential ticket or even mad his now twisted Emi Lokan declaration.

Every 0koro with a winter camp and furniture material Isia Gu outfit was all out calling for Ibo presidency as early as 2021.

So stop all these your lies.

I however like how both you guys and Obi the fraud are exposing yourselves to Nigerians thereby validating every warning I have made in the past and will continue to do.

So just continue dey run your putrid mouths anyhow.
