“Any Igbo man wey dey supports APC, wey no say Nnamdi Kanu dey prison, Soludo no allow Obi to campaign, and all the rich Igbo people no give Obi money, they are running from him, selfish people,” he said.
He further claimed that Igbo people who do not support Obi are acting out of jealousy and wickedness.
“Any Igbo man wey no supports Obi na witch, na wicked Igbo man, na jealous Igbo man,” Fayose stated.
‘Obi will win with or without your support’
The social commentator expressed confidence that Obi would emerge victorious in the 2027 presidential election regardless of whether he received support or financial contributions from wealthy Igbo individuals.
“With or without you, Obi will win. With or without your money, Peter Obi will win,” he said, adding that Obi “will be declared the winner come January.”
Fayose also referenced the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu and alleged political restrictions involving Obi, using them to question the support of Igbo people who back the ruling party.
“You no get shame, Nnamdi dey jail. Peter Obi dey no allow am to campaign. You say you are an Igbo man, you are this, you are a selfish man,” he said.
He concluded by questioning the identity and loyalty of Igbo people who do not support Obi, describing them in derogatory terms.
