According to the Daily Post, Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu said “Peter Obi’s supporters are the people planning mayhem in Nigeria: Obi should be held responsible for anarchy. Don’t be fooled: the malcontents planning to stage nationwide protests are supporters of Peter Obi, the failed presidential candidate of the Labour Party.

The protest planners are also the same people who were instigated by IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu to launch the destructive ENDSARS protest in Nigeria in October 2020.”
Bayo Onanuga added that the supporters of the Presidential Candidate from the Labour Party (LP) of the just concluded General Election, Peter Obi were the people spreading the hashtags ‘EndBadGovernance’, ‘Tinubu Must Go,’ and ‘Revolution2024, and they were not democrats, but anarchists.
