Veteran Nollywood actor Patrick Doyle has publicly criticized Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, for his recent comments targeting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Obi had expressed disapproval of Tinubu’s outfit choice a festive agbada during a condolence visit to Benue State, where over 200 people were recently killed in Yelewata. The former Anambra governor questioned the appropriateness of Tinubu’s attire and the tone of his visit, suggesting it lacked empathy.
Responding via a Facebook post on Thursday, Doyle acknowledged Obi’s consistent role in holding leaders accountable but argued that the politician’s remarks are beginning to seem “borderline neurotic and outright petty.”
Doyle wrote:
“Kudos to Obi for being a consistent critic of the Tinubu administration, but some of his criticisms are borderline neurotic and outright petty.”

@Olachi Ejiogu-Okeiyi:“Patrick Doyle sir, in what way please? People were lined up under the rain to celebrate the coming of the president rather than being in mourning for the grave losses they have all suffered. Haba! This country and sycophancy sef.”
@Amire Adewale Abiodun:“Thank God we still have Obi, if proper care is not taken, Nigeria is gradually sliding to one party system, oga Pat.”
@Tracy Ogor Eru Lillian:“Sir Obi will never behave like the arrogant and self-serving insensitive failure we saw yesterday… He stopped halfway to attend a campaign dinner. Please.”
@Kingsley Uluocha:“It’s a pity that someone with such clean and impeccable credentials falters on the simple count of cultivating the willingness to receive much-needed assistance with a few personal foibles.”
@Emma Okafo:“Let others also criticise with the Big Grammar you just posted. Please remove that grain of corn in ur mouth.”
