'Wetin Obi do these people' - Reactions as Lauretta Onochie calls on DSS to arrest Peter Obi

The former chairperson of the Niger Delta Development Commission Board, Lauretta Onochie, has received knocks from Nigerians over her call for Peter Obi to be arrested.

On Tuesday, September 12, an X user, identified as Abubakar Sidiq Usman shared a video of Obi speaking to a number of people during one of his presidential campaign.

Reacting to the video, Onochie accused Obi, the candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 presidential election of trying to provoke violence using his supporters, popularly known as Obidients over his defeat in the election.

She also charged the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigeria Police Force to arrest the former Governor of Anambra state.

Recall that on Wednesday, September 6, the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal affirmed President Bola Tinubu's victory and dismissed all the petitions of Peter Obi.

Obi in an address to his supporters said he would be proceeding to the Supreme Court to appeal the verdict of the appeal court.

In a post shared on her X page, Onochie queried why Peter Obi was so determined to be the president despite coming third in the 2023 presidential election.

Onochie wrote, "Attn: @OfficialDSSNG, @PoliceNG, I think it's high time you pulled in this clown.

"He did the right thing by seeking power through the ballot box. That's legal! He managed to win some and lost the most. Fair enough!

"Then, his running mate and other unpatriotic Angry Birds, began to instigate our youth to violence. But our Noble and patriotic youth completely ignored them, because sensible youth in Nigeria, are more in number than his headless mob.

"Knowing he had no leg to stand on, he allowed himself to be foolishly led to the Tribunal by #Cashactivists, to pursue issues already decided by the Supreme Court, years ago.

"Then they tried using the Labour movement to call for (WARNING?) strikes around the PEPT judgement day. It failed woefully. Kudos to our youth population!

"This man, @PeterObi continues to instigate his headless and consequently, brainless followers to a violent change of government. I have never seen a more desperate individual.

"There's something sinister and ominous about a man who came 3rd in a race and wants to be declared the winner, AT ALL COST!

"I think it's high time he was pulled in to answer a few questions. Nigerians want to know why Peter Obi is this desperate. Pull him in, heavens will not fall."

Reacting to her backlash, some social media users took a swipe at the former NDDC Chair.

@OnebamoiPaul1: This woman don find her voice, I thought she is homeless. Has APC given her a new apartment? Yeye dey smell.

@FabszekOaikhena: Someone please tell @Laurestar that when the time comes, that house she bought in the UK with stolen public funds, she will forfeit it. It might not happen today, next year or in 5 years, but she will definitely forfeit it. If she passes it on to her kids, they will lose it when the time comes. We know all the political criminals in Nigeria are scared of Obi-Datti and are currently grasping at straws. We are coming for them.

Let them try arrest Obi first. We dey wait. Criminals.
