Nobody is obsessed with him, people only marvel at his desperations, which oftentimes are not well thought out, which results in gaffes, causing him needless embarrassments.
Well-said. Obi is embarrassing because his cynical, hypocritical and duplicitous antics and talk can only seem messianic to Nigerians with poor education and exposure.

Those antics and talk are nauseating to educated, exposed and informed Nigerians who are aware of his record as a Governor yet see him foolishly parading himself as the second coming of Jesus Christ up and down.

Why going this far to pretend to be what your history 100% shows your are not? Like an ashawo of twenty years preaching about morality.This is precisely why people find Obi repellent and desperate.

Lere Olayinka captured it perfectly, a month after Peter Rufai's demise, then Obi jumped on it as soon as Taribo criticized the Govt (NFF). After all , everyone including Obi was aware of Peter Rufai's passing a month ago. Where was Obi since one month ago?.


-Kiss the truth!
Shame on you.

Has Doyin Okupe family complained to you that Obi didn't pay a condolence visit to the family?
Who are you to question his movement?
As what exactly?
Clearly, a free laptop beneficiary spoted!

Lere said the truth Baba Angulu always move with social media noise the mistake has been done by everyone then move on but avoid future occurrences instead the mumu go for belated condolence,because of what Taribo said that means he doesn't think before he acts.He can never be my president .

What is wrong with condoling with the family of the dead a patriot for that matter.
Is only persons with low morals that get marvels at such well thought out humanitarian gesture.
Well done PO keep showing true leadership not all this masquerade at the village square yelling.

Re: Lere Olayinka Slams Peter Obi Over Visit To Late Rufai’s Family by Kemetian: 10:23pm On Aug 23, 2025
Peter Obi is a shameless political opportunist.

He doesn't give a damn about Peter Rufai, and if he wasn't campaigning for president, he wouldn't have visited them.

Why didn't OBI attend the burial to go and be sharing jollof Rice again? Immediately Taribo complained, baba sharperly carry camera go there. This is not how to be a president, time will come that he will become useless totally with all this fake love.

Oponu, ayirada! Is Obi a government or NFF official?
TimeManager:
Lere Olayinka, media aide to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has sparked controversy after reacting to Peter Obi’s condolence visit to the family of late Super Eagles goalkeeper, Peter Rufai.

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, visited the Rufai family on Saturday, August 23, 2025, at their residence in Amuwo Odofin, Lagos—one day after the football icon was buried.

Obi, accompanied by former international Sylvanus Okpala, spent time with the family, offered prayers, and signed the condolence register.

He explained that he had only learned of the burial date the day before, while in Abuja, and flew to Lagos early that morning to pay his respects.

However, shortly after the visit, Olayinka took to social media to question the motive behind Obi’s action.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), he wrote:



https://x.com/OlayinkaLere/status/1959235834965578008?t=9kajemHourfkr1uKEhNFMA&s=19

The tweet appeared to link Obi’s visit to earlier comments made by former Super Eagles defender Taribo West, who had criticized the silence of Nigerian Football Federation and other local football association following Rufai’s death.

Olayinka suggested that Obi’s visit was a reaction to that criticism and aimed more at gaining media attention than offering genuine condolence
.

His remarks sparked mixed reactions online.

While critics of Obi echoed Olayinka’s view, accusing the former Anambra governor of using the visit for publicity, others defended Obi’s actions, describing them as sincere and timely given his explanation.

Obi truly is shameless. Noteworthy also that non of the top politicians has his style at all. Non would stoop so low engaging in acts of deception, gaslighting and sycophantic pretensions just to curry favour with the Nigerian electorate.

Obi is a political gold-digger par excellence.

I don't see any big deal in Peter Obi visiting the recently buried Peter Rufai's family.If Tinubu and Atiku and Sowore wants to visit the family they are all equally free to do .

Wahala Lere gan ti poju since Wike gave him appointment.

Its actually a terrible way to play opposition if we are being honest
Must everything be about politics? This is just a private citizen who is not even currently in Government, can't he just leave his life without much political interference? Now, what if he never visited in the first place just like others, would that have made any difference to u? It's just shamefully obvious that this is and act of chronic obsession from the APC camp for this man called PETER OBI, more like he is ur worse nightmare.... It's just pitiful that APC is slowly playing the opposition...

Even though everything they mostly say about him is the truth but the foolishness in your skull won’t let you see it.

Obi is becoming a political jargon and a nonentity in the political space. Quote me In the future. He will lose all his goodwill because he doesn’t play the politics with sense but with sensationalism.

Nigerian president doesn’t just emerge, there are intrigues behind it and my little son knows it more than Obi. He’s too reactive, sentimental and with no decorum. A president will emerge from the east one day but def not OBI. his style of politics is wack!
