Onanuga claimed Obi was unwilling to submit to party primaries.

He was reacting to an interview by the African Democratic Congress(ADC) chieftain Babachir Lawal saying that “A politician who fears elections, has no business being one. He (Peter Obi) doesn’t want to participate in primaries, he prefers a consensus candidate, and that consensus must be him.”

Reacting to this via Onaunga X handle he said former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, had now come to understand Obi’s political style after supporting him in the 2023 presidential election.

“The scales have now fallen from the eyes of Babachir Lawal, a 2023 supporter of Peter Obi.He now realizes that Obi, who dreads primaries, desires a consensus that benefits him alone a philosophy seemingly ingrained in his DNA,”he added.

“In street parlance, it is called ‘Me only, nobody else’ or ‘I before anybody else’. Obi is a very selfish politician. He cannot build a political party,”he stated.

“He goes to where other people have toiled to cook the soup and takes the biggest meat in the pot. Gbajue politician of this era,”he said.
