Kperogi blows hot, says “Obi suffering from delusional disorder
US–based Media Scholar Professor Farooq Kperogi, on Saturday, blew hot on Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, and said Obi is suffering from a “delusional disorder“ regarding his claim that his mandate was stolen.
Kperogi‘s claims challenge the narrative of a stolen mandate put forward by former Nigerian Governor, Peter Obi, after his party, the People‘s Democratic Party (PDP), failed to win a majority of votes in the last general election.
According to Kperogi, Obi only secured up to 25% of the total vote in 20 out of Nigeria‘s 36 states, making it impossible for him to make such a claim.
In his weekly column, Kperogi pointed out that the church structure which enabled Obi to secure votes from Christians across the region (except in Yoruba land where ethnic loyalty was stronger than religious beliefs) ultimately prevented him from becoming president, even if he had gained the most votes.
