Peter Obi Under Fire Over Comments On Bobrisky’s Legal Saga

Peter Obi, A Nigerian politician and  the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate  has come under criticism for his remarks regarding the legal case involving lifestyle influencer Bobrisky.

Obi’s appearance on podcast session has sparked discussions as he commented on the public’s focus on Bobrisky. He referred to recent controversies involving Bobrisky, social media personalities  like Verydarkman, the Falanas, and institutions such as the EFCC and the Nigerian Correctional Service, noting that these issues have drawn intense public reactions.

Rather than addressing the details of the controversies, Obi questioned why such topics receive significant attention when the country faces more urgent challenges. He added humor by suggesting that if laws were introduced favoring women, some critics of Bobrisky might consider crossdressing to adapt.

“These are entertainers that 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 stated.

His remark, however, sparked reactions from social media users, with some suggesting that he appeared to endorse Bobrisky’s allegations.
