In a recent social media post, Femi Fani-Kayode referred to the supporters of Labour party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, also known as ”Obidients” as “poor little children” who he claims are quick to hurl insults at others but are unable to handle insults directed at them.
Fani-Kayode made these remarks on his social media platforms on October 7.
According to him, “The problem with Peter and his Obidients is that they know how to throw punches but they don’t know how to take them. They enjoy hurling insults at others but they can’t take insults themselves. One small jab & their glass jaws are broken & ego shattered. Poor little children.” he stated in the post.
Fani-Kayode’s comments came shortly after he was criticized by the Obidients for calling Obi a “mannerless dunce with low self-esteem.” FFK had attacked Obi for stating that he does not engage with spokespersons of any politician in a social media post the night before.
“You don’t respond to comments of presidential spokespersons because you are a mannerless dunce with low self-esteem and you have no answers. Femi said. No presidential candidate worth his salt will ever join issues with you directly because you are far too low down the ladder. Asiwaju to Waziri to Kwankwaso I can see but to add an Obi to that list in a public debate or discussion would be a grave insult. Who the hell is he and what does he know about anything other than misleading his gullible followers on social media and selling Tomato puree, Bournvita and toothpaste? He would not last 5 minutes in a debate with ANY of our presidential spokespersons and even Kwankwaso’s and Atiku’s would give him a hard time.”
These comments were met with backlash from the Obidients who took to Fani-Kayode’s social media accounts to express their disapproval.
