Supporters of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi, popularly called ‘Obidients’, have taken the presidential flag-bearer of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, to the cleaners after he described their principal as a fraud packaged for the 2023 elections.
In an interview with PulseNG on on Sunday, Sowore had said:
“What is true is that I have a general disdain for the dishonesty of Nigerian politicians.
“Peter Obi is nothing compared to the way the fraudulent Buhari was packaged.
“I have disdain for lacklustre performance, and whenever anybody then comes up as a politician or who wants to run Nigeria, they come with this fraudulent packaging.
“My default position is to warn people first and then expose them later. My position about Peter Obi has been consistent.”
While the fallout from the interview was yet to die down, Sowore again stirred the hornet’s nest when he took to X to disparage the Obidients.
In the post early on Monday morning, the activist once again, showed his disdain for Obi and his supporters, saying even name ‘Obidients’ irritates him.
“In fact, the word “Obidient” in itself riles me that anybody would form an organisation that’s obedient during the period of oppression,” he wrote.

The new attack seemed to have woken up members of the Obidient movement who vent their anger on Sowore.
While some believe he must have been paid to attack their principal, others believe he is simply jealous of Obi’s rising profile and influence in the country.
@VerySafe2020: “Sowore can you please focus elsewhere?????? Why are you so jealous this way? How much were u paid or promised for this job?”

@Ejiro_Nelson: “Come to think of it, this guy has been in the system longer than PO. This same guy was in jubilation for Buhari. If we’re to call anyone a criminal, I’ll call him rather than PO. Fuel is over 800, garri made unaffordable, poverty increased and yet these don’t ripe him up? My God.”

@Bankeyys: “You will only dent your personality even moving further to hunt the “Obidient”
Little did you know what Obidient stand for.
Let me Educate you: Many Nigerians who cares about wanting the best for nigeria and refuse to be oppressed is automatically an Obidient.
You think 6 million votes at a first go even when they were rigged is fallacy.
The earlier you learn the Better….”
