Atiku, a former vice-president (VP) of Nigeria, was the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 and 2023 elections.

While Atiku and Obi worked together in 2019, the latter exited the PDP and contested for the Nigerian presidency under the platform of the Labour Party (LP).

Atiku and Obi came second and third respectively with the former VP polling 6,984,520 votes, to Obi's 6,101,533.

As political activities ahead of the 2027 election appeared to have started, Obi's visit to a fellow opposition figure spurred reactions, especially on social media.

Bwala, an open supporter of President Bola Tinubu and a member of the PDP, joined the conversation.

He wrote snidely on his verified X (formerly Twitter) handle:

"Pitobi @PeterObi, the political deceiver-in-chief."

Bwala's comment drew counteractions from some netizens. Legit.ng captures some comments below:
