Nigerians have mocked and attacked an ex-militant leader, Asari Dokubo for declaring the ‘Obi-dient’ movement which is currently going on as a scam.

The former militant leader had on Tuesday revealed that it would be impossible for the Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.

Not pleased by the statement, Nigerians took to their social media pages critiquing the ex-militant, describing him as someone who is in sane.

While some said Dokubo is against Obi is because of what he stands to gain financially from other presidential aspirants and not for the betterment of Nigeria, others said they blame the amnesty program that got him education in Saudi Arabia. This is one of the disadvantages of educating a militant.”

@Elhay_I “How serious would I take any comment from Asari Dokubo about Peter Obi? 0-5%, who even gave him the mic to voice his opinion on a sensitive issue like this?”

@Obawade “What has Obi done wrong to SE and South South people that makes them hates him so much.With all this hatred to Peter Obi presidential ambition show that SE is not ready to become Nigeria president. Undermine Peter Obi presidential ambition.I think South East needs true Love and unity among themselves.”

@BiodunAlexa “They are all scared. Peter Obi represents chaos for the cabals and elites who have benefited from a dysfunctional Nigeria.”

@LazimThaVates “Asari is better of giving us meme contents. Let him stay on that path. We don’t want sellouts making comments on serious political talks. Stay where Joe Igbokwe is.”
