“When it is not your time, it is not your time! He betrayed his boss, Atiku, who brought him into the limelight. If you love Nigeria so much as proclaimed, why didn’t you wait in your political party to fight the battle? Suddenly, you changed and pretended that you were not part of the system that led us to where we are today.”

He described Obi as a deceitful and arrogant man while making reference to the book of Proverbs 16:5.

Giwa said:

“God can’t stomach arrogance, pretense, and betrayal, according to Proverbs 16:5. The Lord says he will put those upstairs in their place.
"We know all the politicians we will hold responsible should anything go wrong in Nigeria.”
