Nigerians reacted to Okey Bakassi's decision to support Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate for next year’s elections.

We reported that Okey Bakassi had recalled how he warned Nigerians that the current president was not competent enough during the 2015 and 2019 elections. His warnings were ignored and he shifted his focus to Peter Obi, a former governor of Anambra State who became a 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.

Peter Okoye stated, "Obideint are we", but his brother was more excited and wrote: "Same here bro."
