Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s candidate for the 2023 presidential election, has stirred reactions in Nigeria with his candid remarks about the rising popularity of crossdresser Bobrisky.

On the Honest Bunch podcast with Nedu Wazobia, Obi discussed Bobrisky’s heated disputes with Verydarkman, the Falanas, the EFCC, and the Nigerian Correctional Service—topics that have caused significant debate and anger among the public.

Rather than adding to the controversy, Obi’s comments highlighted what he sees as a serious national distraction.

Obi asked why the country focuses so much on a crossdresser’s life when there are many serious problems affecting the nation.

He joked that if the government made laws that favored women, those who criticize Bobrisky might be the first to start crossdressing just to get by, which made everyone in the studio laugh.

Obi’s comments were funny, but they sparked a strong reaction. Some people supported his views on misplaced priorities, seeing his words as a way to point out the silliness of worrying about minor issues.

On the other hand, not everyone found it funny. Critics quickly brought up a personal issue, accusing Obi of being a hypocrite because of his son Oseloka’s supposed ties to the LGBTQ community.

In other news, Former Big Brother Naija contestant Eloka Paul Nwamu, known as Eloswag, recently faced public scrutiny after a private video of him with an unknown woman was allegedly leaked on Snapchat.

The clip quickly spread online, sparking criticism and speculation.

Addressing the incident on X (formerly Twitter) in a post he later deleted, Eloswag clarified he had removed the video from his Snapchat.

A little bit furious by GistLover’s insinuations, the reality star hinted at taking legal action, after the blog, notorious for its bold takes, made a subtle dig, implying that Eloswag’s private video post was no accident but rather a deliberate attempt to prove he isn’t g@y.

He wrote;

“I posted a video mistakenly on my Snapchat by 3am and deleted it immediately, guess who has the video? GISTLOVER? How? Please can I sue? Cause it doesn’t make sense.”
