'Obidients Isn't a Healthy Movement, they're Very T0xic' - Bashir Ahmed

Bashir Ahmad, a former presidential aide, has criticized the Obidient movement, describing them as the most t0xic political group in Nigeria. The 'Obidients' are supporters of former presidential candidate Peter Obi.In a post shared on his X handle, Bashir stated that the Obidient group insult, drag and ridicule every politician and leader without restrain. Bashir opined that with the way the Obidients go about insulting people, it would be difficult for Peter Obi to win over his political adversaries.Read what he wrote below‘’I honestly can’t wrap my head around the attitude and despicable behaviour of those so-called Obidients. Arguably, they are the most toxic political groups we have ever had in this part of the world. From morning till night, they insult, drag and ridicule every politician and leader without restraint because to them no one is ever good enough."But the moment you bring up their ‘demigod’ Peter Obi’s name, even in the context of a serious, national conversation, they suddenly lose the ability to engage intelligently and instantly abandon logic and reason only to resort to personal attacks. They don’t offer facts, explanations or thoughtful dialogue, it is always a barrage of insults from them."Honestly, Obidient isn’t a healthy movement, by far, it is not what a healthy political movement looks like. With their attitude and this kind of behavior, there is no way Peter can win over people from the other side or even the undecided voters. The truth is, no political movement can succeed particularly in a diverse country like Nigeria through aggression, emotional blackmail and echo chambers."To win elections, you must be able to persuade, not intimidate and to engage, not abuse."For us, the ruling party, it is a good thing that they will continue living in denial, even Peter himself has refused to see the damage this toxic movement has been doing to his cause."
