"I'm an Atiku supporter" - Mike Premium noted and gives reasons why
During our conversation, Mike reiterated that he supported former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar during the 2023 presidential elections and even mobilised a youth movement for him without being paid a penny. He also shared his reasons for supporting the PDP man.
"I supported Atiku for the presidential elections. He is what we need as a country. Peter Obi might have the capacity, but he lacked the support needed. Maybe in a saner country, he could have won but not in Nigeria, where the strong men, the movers and shakers in the country were not supporting him he had no chance whatsoever."
Premium also spoke about the PEPT's verdict, noting that there was no way Obi could've won in court because politics is not won or driven by emotions.
"All the noise on social media, can't be transformed to evidence. Politics nor the court don't deal with emotions. To make headway in politics you have to be brutal with fierce concrete evidences not noise and emotional blackmail."
"I lost a $250k deal just because I wasn't supporting Peter Obi" - Mike revealed
Premium shared with Legit.ng his thoughts about the Obidient movement and how it became a dangerous convent that was willing to take food from the mouth of people who didn't support Peter Obi.
"Imagine somebody cancelling a deal worth $250,000 (N188.5m) with me just because I wasn't supporting Peter Obi. Some Obidients were just too vile and dangerous they went as far as destroying some of my businesses. Some condemned me, some unfollowed me online, and I had friends and family members who all cut me off because of my choice. All of this just because of Obi."
"Seyi Tinubu is my friend, when I call him, he answers" - Premium noted
The serial businessman also shared that despite being anti-APC, he has a great rapport with Seyi Tinubu, the President's eldest son.
"I know Seyi Tinubu he is my friend. I have his number he has mine. Whenever I call him, he answers, this is how politics works. The way I was treated by Obidient, both friends and family, during the election nearly pushed me to delete my Instagram page and go private. So many people who are celebrities who supported that movement are quite empty upstairs, And it was painful to see."
