Bayo Onanuga Faces Backlash For Threatening Peter Obi: Here's What's Really Going On

Onanuga's Dangerous Game: Why He Should Stop Threatening Peter Obi

Hey there, let me break this down for you. The Obidient Movement isn't playing games when it comes to protecting freedom of speech in Nigeria. They've fired a warning shot across the bow of Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga, telling him to knock it off with the threats aimed at Labour Party (LP) 2023 presidential candidate Peter Obi. This all started after Peter Obi dared to say that democracy in Nigeria has hit rock bottom. Now, Onanuga's response? Tell Peter Obi to "watch his mouth." Seriously? That's not how democracy works, folks.

Let’s dig deeper into this story. The Obidient Movement, speaking through their Director of Strategic Communications & Media, Nana Kazaure, made it crystal clear that Onanuga needs to rethink his approach. They weren't just mildly concerned—they were fired up. In a strongly worded press statement, they laid it all out: “As a Movement, we take serious exception to the uncouth threat by this choleric presidential spokesman whose antecedents as an instigator of intolerance and division are well known, recorded, and documented.”

Onanuga's Threats: What’s the Real Agenda?

Now, here’s the kicker. The Obidient Movement isn't just blowing smoke. They're asking some hard-hitting questions that deserve answers. They want to know what exactly Onanuga plans to do about Peter Obi. Is there some sinister plot brewing in the Tinubu administration against critics who are speaking truth to power? The Movement isn’t letting this slide. They’re pointing out that instead of wasting time trying to silence opposing voices, the administration should be focusing on fixing the real problems facing Nigerians—poverty, unemployment, and lack of basic infrastructure.

Here’s a gem from the statement: “If the Tinubu administration had invested a quarter of the energy and resources it expends in hounding and demonizing varying opinions through its intemperate spokespersons and numerous cyber Rottweilers, Nigeria would be a far more decent and conducive place to live in.” Oof. That’s a mic drop moment right there.

Why This Matters: The Bigger Picture

Here’s the thing: threats like the ones coming from Onanuga can’t just be swept under the rug. This isn’t the first time he’s acted this way. Remember, this is the same guy who has a history of stirring up trouble and inviting conflict. The Obidient Movement warns that Nigerians shouldn’t ignore these red flags. If anything, they’re a sign of a deeper problem within the Tinubu administration—a lack of respect for free speech and a growing intolerance for dissenting voices.

At the end of the day, what we’re seeing here is a battle for the soul of Nigerian democracy. The question is: will the Tinubu administration choose to engage in meaningful dialogue with its critics, or will it continue down this dangerous path of intimidation and threats? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure—Nigerians are watching closely, and they’re not backing down.
