Ex-Big Brother Naija housemate and comedian, DeeOne, has called out former presidential candidate of the Labor Party, Peter Obi, for his lack of willingness to spend money on his political ambition.
DeeOne spoke in a viral Instagram video on Saturday morning,
while reacting to the emergence of the City Boy Movement – a political support
group for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.
The movement which was established by the President’s son,
Seyi Tinubu, has some top supporters of Peter Obi as its coordinators and
directors in most of the South-East states.
Reacting to the development, comedian DeeOne advised Peter
Obi to step up his game by being willing to spend money, noting that some of
his agents in the 2023 election were being fed by other political parties at
the poling unit.
While condemning his popular slang of “We no dey give
shishi”, DeeOne noted that Peter Obi cannot win 2027 presidential election with
sympathy votes.
He said: “If you want Mr Peter Obi to do well in the coming
2027 election, let us tell him the truth. You cannot win presidential election
with sympathy votes. It may have given him some leverage in the last election,
but in the 2027 election, it is not going to work.
“I’m not saying that you should not buy groundnuts Mr Peter
Obi, I’m not saying that you should not price groundnuts but all those
strategies will not work again. The worst Mr Peter Obi will make or anybody
supporting him will make is to look down on this City Boy movement. Look at
what they’re doing, it’s not a joke. Presidential election no be cho cho cho.
You have to show workings.
“In the last election in the US, Donald Trump spent $66
million of his own money. The government is only saying no to vote buying, no
be campaign. Just imagine, Labor Party agents during the last election did not
see water to drink at poling unit. They did not see food to chop, what kind of
thing is that? If Mr Peter Obi does not have his own money to spend on his own
ambition, then he should call his own followers and ask them to donate and he
will give account of how he spent the money. No be say, you go say eeh we no
dey spend shi shi.
“You no dey spend shi shi, are you the one on the field. Are
you risking your life to count the vote? People are doing that, at least they
should get something to eat. Do you know that it was other parties that gave
Labor Party agents food and water to drink during the last election. Or should
we bring out evidence? Come on, my people, telling Mr Peter Obi the truth
doesn’t mean you don’t like him. It only means that you want him to do well in
the next election.”
