Peter Obi: Keep Crossing the Line

The APC spokesman stood up and in full confidence opened his mouth and spewed the usual garbage. Peter Obi has crossed the line and must be ready to face the consequences and for his efforts, he has claimed to have received over 400 death threats.

So, you see how things multiply, from his one inferred threat, he got over 400 in response. This is what my dear late Mena used to say  “back to sender.”

These people who are not trained in the beautiful art of public speaking and who just get shoved into these positions as reward for the “agberoism” they must have shown during elections continue to put their foot in their mouth. They speak without the elegance and flair of fine public speakers. They open their mouths and vomit bile with so much pride that those of us listening would be scratching our heads in confusion as to what exactly is happening.

Which one is crossing the line? Mbok, which line. That statement is just so contextually arrogant and riddled with opaque entitlement that says – na we dey rule.

If it is true he has received that volume of death threats, he should not be worried as we all know that Obi’s people only shout on social media and would not lift a finger even if their idol was thrown into Gashua and  Gani’s former cell. So, he needn’t worry with all that. What he should however really worry about is his rough-hewn approach to his job.

His rough edges are so annoying that one would like to recommend finishing or charm school for him.

His engagements have been mostly illiterate and vacuous. He represents a class of Nigerian public figures who represent the Baba Sala school of crass chicanery- comedians in leadership. Mbok, go clean up your act, we have had enough my brother.
