Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has taken a swipe at supporters of Peter Obi, describing them as “monsters” and warning that their actions could negatively affect his political future ahead of the 2027 elections.
In a series of posts shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, Dabiri-Erewa argued that the former Labour Party presidential candidate should be held accountable for the behaviour of his supporters, popularly known as Obidients.
According to her, Obi’s supporters could ultimately undermine his ambitions if their conduct remains unchecked.
“Peter Obi has actually raised monsters. By God’s grace, Bola Ahmed Tinubu will win the 2027 elections. When it’s the turn of the South East and perhaps it falls on him, I hope he realises that these Obidients could ironically become his downfall. He needs to call them to order,” she wrote.
She reiterated her stance in follow-up posts, maintaining that the actions of the group, if not addressed, could harm Obi’s chances in future elections.
Responding to criticism over her comments, Dabiri-Erewa defended her engagement on social media, stating that her role as a public official does not preclude her from responding to attacks.
“This is my personal account. You can hack it again if you wish. So because I’m a public official, I should remain silent in the face of what I consider toxic behaviour?” she added.
The comments came in the wake of reactions from Obi’s supporters to an earlier post in which Dabiri-Erewa shared details of her visit to Silicon Valley, California, where she met Nigerian professionals and experienced a ride in a driverless car.
