Reactions as Okey Bakassi insist on making Peter Obi Nigeria’s next president

Minutes after popular Nigerian comic actor, Okey Bakassi threw his weight behind Peter Obi, who is Labour Party Presidential candidate for next year’s elections, Nigerians have taken to his handle to react.

Kemi Filani had reported earlier, that Okey Bakassi recalled how he warned Nigerians during the 2015 and 2019 elections that the current president is not competent enough. But his cautions fell on deaf ears, which made him focus all his attentions to Peter Obi who is former Anambra State governor turned Presidential Aspirant.

Taking to his Instagram page, Okey Bakassi wrote: “When I was shouting in 2015 & 2019 to anyone who cared to listen that Bubu lacked the pedigree to make Nigeria better, some people refused to listen. Today Nigeria is in a mess and we are all suffering it. This 2023 election, it’s my turn not to listen to anyone…it’s PETER OBI for President! I don’t want to listen to anything that is not related to how Peter will win the election, don’t stress me with your political permutations. I can pay small attention to you, if you’re talking about other positions like National Assembly, Governor or State Assembly. I don’t want to hear about Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, etc…I don’t want to hear about Christian, Muslim or Witchcraft. If the political discussion is not about how Peter will win, I will not listen.”

After making his post, singing brothers, Peter and Paul Okoye and other celebrities and fans, stormed his comment section to drum support for his opinion.

While Peter Okoye said, “Obideint we are🙏🏽”, his brother excited wrote: “Same here bro”

👏👏👏👏👏 Is definitely Peter Obi. Nigerian are now Politically aware. We can’t continue with this suffering. Looking back at the just concluded Primaries. We can’t say there is nay ray of hope with the crop of Humans presented to us by the two Political parties. Thank God Peter Obi fid not step down, his continued willingness has really endear us to believe that almighty God is at work to deliver us. If Macron of France could do it in France with a new political and went ahead to defeat old political parties that almost finished France, we can replicate same here in Nigerian and is already happening as millions are matching out for their PVC.
