Nollywood actor Laide Olabanji has defended former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, accusing Nigerians who oppose him of allowing tribal sentiments to influence their political judgment.
The actor made this known in a post where he argued that Obi’s major offence in the eyes of some Nigerians was that he did not come from their tribe, despite what he considers to be his qualities as a leader.
Olabanji urged Nigerians to look beyond ethnic differences when making political decisions, warning against allowing tribalism to determine the country’s future.
He wrote:
“Peter Obi did not offend you. His only offence is that he is not from your tribe. Meanwhile, you know he is far better than any of them. Stop using tribalism to destroy people’s future. I’m telling you for free, Peter Obi is Nigerians’ choice.”
