The Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has criticised supporters of former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, describing them as “monsters” and warning that their conduct could undermine his political ambitions ahead of the 2027 elections.
In a series of posts on X on Sunday, Dabiri-Erewa said Obi bears responsibility for the actions of his supporters, popularly known as Obidients.
“@PeterObi has actually raised monsters. By God’s grace @officialABAT will win the 2027 elections. When it’s the turn of the South-East and who knows, if the lot falls on him, I hope he knows that these obingos/Obi-dients will ironically be his downfall. He needs to call them to order,” she wrote.
The NiDCOM chairman reiterated her position in subsequent posts, insisting that the behaviour of Obi’s supporters could ultimately harm his political prospects if not addressed.
