Comedian DeeOne has warned Peter Obi ahead of the 2027 election.
Philips News reports that former Big Brother Naija housemate and comedian, Aderombi Adedayo Martin popularly known as 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.
Comedian 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.
City Boy Movement, established by Seyi Tinubu,the son of President Bola 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.
Comedian DeeOne who condemned Obi’s popular slang: “We no dey give shishi”, DeeOne noted that Peter Obi cannot win 2027 presidential election with sympathy votes.
The comedian 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.”
