Peter Obi, the Labour Party candidate in Nigeria's 2023 presidential election, recently sparked mixed reactions over his comments on crossdresser Bobrisky.
Speaking on the Honest Bunch podcast with Nedu Wazobia, Obi highlighted his view on Nigeria's tendency to focus on Bobrisky’s lifestyle, despite pressing national issues.
Obi humorously remarked that if laws favored women, critics might even take up crossdressing themselves to survive, prompting laughter in the studio.
Obi’s remarks, meant to shed light on the country's misplaced priorities, received both praise and criticism.
Supporters saw his statements as an honest critique of the national focus on trivial matters, while others accused him of hypocrisy, referencing alleged ties between his son, Oseloka, and the LGBTQ community.
Recently, his son, Gregory Peter Oseloka was featured in a g@y magazine.
