Fayose: “Obidients” Are Obi’s Real Problem

Fayose: “Obidients” Are Obi’s Real Problem

Just days after meeting Seyi Tinubu, Fayose spoke out about the negative impact of some Peter Obi supporters. He questioned why “Obidients” insult anyone who engages with other political figures, even family members. Fayose pointed to online attacks that drove Reno Omokri from Obi’s camp to Tinubu. He argued that this toxic behavior is turning people against Obi and undermining the campaign. Fayose urged supporters to stop unreasonable draggings and remember that political opponents still share social spaces—greeting and joking even after the election. Ultimately, Fayose said Obi’s strength depends on inclusive dialogue, not on silencing or shaming those with different opinions.

Do we risk silencing genuine debate when supporters attack anyone discussing other political figures or family members?

Is the worry that calling out Obi's backers actually drowns out broader policy debates?

Fayose's remarks highlight a larger trend of online tribalism that seems to punish anyone stepping outside strict supporter lines.

I agree, this online tribalism shuts down honest conversation and makes many too afraid to speak up.

I get the concern but is it fair to blame hardline 'Obidients' when insults come from various sides of the debate?

Perhaps supporters should set clear guidelines for respectful discussion before any meeting with rival politicians to avoid social media fallout.
