Beauty Tukura, Peter Obi

Why this matters: Earlier, Former Presidential media aide, Reno Omokri taunted the supporters of Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi as he said that Africa’s most popular reality TV show #BBNaija has shifted their attention from trending on Twitter.

Omokri is known for criticising Obi’s supporters popularly branded ‘Obidients’ for months, as his arguments are that they are abusive and without political structures to make the former Anambra governor emerge as the nation’s President in the 2023 presidential election.

Top trends in Nigeria: However, in analysing the most trended topics around both subjects, based on news stories and audience interest, Beauty Tukura and Peter Obi top the trends for the last 24 hours.
