Jade Osiberu is under fire for her 2022 post about Peter Obi

Nigerian filmmaker Jade Osiberu, who had earlier backed President Tinubu over Peter Obi, has found herself in hot water with the public after doing a U-turn and criticizing the president.

On September 28, 2024, Osiberu posted on X, “My to-do list is mad long but what have I been doing all day? Social media dopamine scrolling. In T-pain’s economy?! Wonderful!”

However, her lighthearted post was received with disdain, and an X user named Orji dug out an old post of hers from 2022 during the presidential campaign season, where she stated that Peter Obi was not a wealth multiplier.

Her post read, “I like the idea of someone who is frugal and has integrity running Nigeria but after hearing Peter Obi speak, I fear he’s the guy to trust with your money but not to multiply your wealth and Nigeria needs the latter. We need a big thinker to dig us out of this economic hole.”

Orji reacted to the post and tagged her a tribal bigot, “Were you not the same tribal bigot who said during the election that, he’s good at multiplying wealth, while Peter Obi isn’t? How come you’re now calling him ‘T-pain?’ I detest folks like you with every fiber of my being. This was you during the 2023 presidential election buildup.”

The filmmaker retorted, “This is part of the critical thinking problem I was talking about yesterday. You idiots combed through my entire timeline and couldn’t find a tweet supporting the current administration but you found a tweet that isn’t in support of your messiah and I’m a bigot?! You’re idiots!”

You guys have been going wild since yesterday on this one tweet. I made a whole film critiquing APC’s political ideology and structure for which I was targeted and sued to court! I did not believe in Peter Obi either which is my right and doesn’t make me a tribal bigot! https://t.co/tVPrlcwjkX

Osiberu’s response led to a series of scathing posts directed at her and a back-and-forth between her and Obi supporters.

She then wrote, “You guys have been going wild since yesterday on this one tweet. I made a whole film critiquing APC’s political ideology and structure for which I was targeted and sued to court! I did not believe in Peter Obi either, which is my right and doesn’t make me a tribal bigot!”

You cannot bully and insult people into believing in a candidate. You can engage intellectually and provide evidence that would convince them. At least that’s what you would expect sensible people to do.
