Come out openly to lead the protest – Bayo Onanuga tells Peter Obi not to play the ‘master puppeteer’ after backing the hardship protest

Presidential aide, Bayo Onanuga, has asked Peter Obi to come out and lead the planned protest against hardship and stop being the ‘’master puppeteer’ behind the scenes. 

This comes hours after the Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election threw his weight behind the protest and said the sponsors of the protest are ‘’hunger, hopelessness amongst the youths” and many others.

Reacting to Obi’s approval of the protest, Onanuga via his X handle, wrote;

‘’Now that Peter Obi has come out to endorse the planned protest by his supporters, he should do what President Tinubu and former President Buhari did in the past, by coming out openly to lead the protesters. That is what leadership is about. Not playing the master puppeteer behind the scene. He should be in the forefront of the protest and help in curbing  their possible excesses.”
