He asked if there is a market where Yoruba people buy things at a cheaper rate now when the prices of things have gone up.
Obi stated this during an interview on The Honest Bunch with Nedu and his crew.“
Let’s talk about what is happening today, rice is N100,000 and we are not even sure where we are gonna be with this situation.“ It is our turn, he is a Yoruba man. Ask the people in Ogun here, is there a plan where you people buy bread cheaper? So I can follow you this night and buy one.”
Peter Obi under fire over “It’s our turn” comment
What has Yoruba man got to do with this? Igbo man mentality.
This coming from a presidential aspirant shows how so tribalistic this man is. If this was coming from an ordinary person I would overlook… but Peter Obi saying this after majority of Yoruba people voted for him in Lagos and Oyo.
