When it’s the turn of the South-East and who knows, if the lot falls on him, I hope he knows that these obingos/Obi-dients will ironically be his downfall. He needs to call them to order,” she wrote.
In later posts, the chairman of NiDCOM reaffirmed her stance, stating that if Obi’s supporters’ actions are not addressed, they may eventually hurt his electoral chances.
Additionally, Dabiri-Erewa rejected the idea that her position as a public official should prohibit her from reacting to criticism, defending her choice to interact with detractors online.
Her tweets comes amid reactions from Obi’s supporters to her earlier post about a meeting with Nigerians in Silicon Valley, California.
“While in Silicon Valley, California, I met with incredible Nigerian professionals with a passion to contributing to Nigeria’s growth.
“I could not leave Silicon Valley without a ride in a driverless car. Special thanks to Kunle Adeyemo for the ride and the tour,” she tweeted.
