Dino Melaye: ‘Obidients’ all about hype, impression agenda-setting
Dino Melaye, a spokesman for the Atiku Abubakar presidential campaign organisation, has called Peter Obi's Labour Party supporters (Obidients) a movement of hype mercenaries and agenda-setters.

Melaye made this statement during a Monday interview on Arise TV in response to a question on how his political party is now responding to other parties' methods of rallying Nigerians in advance of the campaign and the general elections of 2023.

The Atiku spokesperson said that the Nigerians who attended Peter Obi's rally in Abuja were hungry Nigerians who were being used as political proxies.

According to the PDD leader, gathering a crowd in Nigeria is quite simple.

He explained that commercial mobilization is the easiest thing in the country currently because Nigerians are hungry and are willing to openly represent a political party willing to buy their attention.

“To assemble a crowd is just to bring out money, mobilization is very cheap in this country, people are hungry, you could see how people gathered inside a bus from various states, just to pretend,” he said.

The Atiku campaign spokesman, however, stated that Nigerians are smart to know who would represent them, citing PDP’s victory in the Osun governorship election to further substantiatehis claims.

Meanwhile, Dino further stated that it is not the march of the street that will determine the election.

He said his party is dealing with people by being practical and real to be able to interact with the real people that will vote in 2023.
