"There is something suspicious about @peterobi’s UK “Immigration Story,” because I don’t see how a modern biometric passport with his fingerprints and biometric identity could lead to his being seen as an “impersonator” or a clone, more curious is why he’s sending third parties to tell half of the story. Something fishy is going on! #Revolutionnow."

Nigerians react to Sowore's tweet about Obi

As usual, Nigerians took to the comment section of Sowore's Twitter page and reacted to the development.

@oobynno tweeted:

"You are supposed to be a foremost investigative journalist; so what’s going on?
"Or does this confirm that most of your supposedly landmark revelations were either handed to you or planted for blackmail as believed in several quarters."

@ImIfeanyionuoha tweeted:

"Oh, Sowore, Sowore, Sowore, @YeleSowore when will you learn? It's time to face the facts: you lost the election, and it's time to move on. Instead of focusing on conspiracy theories about Peter Obi's immigration story, why don't you focus on how to make the country better?

Renowned writer Chimamanda Adichie has condemned the use of the word 'fascist' by Professor Wole Soyinka to describe the activities of supporters of Peter Obi throughout the electioneering period.

Reacting to an interview granted by Soyinka, who described Obi's supporters - Obidients - as fascists, Adichie said the word used by the professor was strong, especially for people genuinely seeking things to be done constitutionally.

Adichie said she respects and admires Soyinka but disagrees with his description of Peter Obi's supporters or the demands made of the Labour Party's vice-presidential candidate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed.
