Chioma Grace Ifemeludike, a Nollywood actress, has insulted the fans of Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, calling them ‘zombie-like.’
The ‘Obedient,’ as they are affectionately known, are primarily young people who are exhausted by unprecedented levels of insecurity, record inflation and unemployment rates, and a slew of other issues, and who are supporting Labour’s presidential candidate against two septuagenarian political heavyweights.
Ifemeludike cried out on her Instagram page that the Nigerian people are repeating the same patterns and sentiments that occurred when Muhammadu Buhari, the current president, was elected in 2015.

She insisted that those who do not support the ‘trend’ should not be bullied or regarded as unreasonable, and that there is no such thing as beauty in democracy without diversity.
She wrote: “If you’re not supporting Peter Obi, you are seen as losing rational reasoning, but if you support him you are automatically accepted. This is a zombie kind of followership naw! This is not a movement of the mass force, please.
“All I see here are same patterns and sentiments that played out in 2015 before we elected president Buhari and his clueless team. The only difference this time is a tribe and “go and verify” syndrome.”
“If you are part of us you’re reasonable if not you’re unreasonable if you’re part of us you’re a saint if not you’re corrupt. What then is the beauty of democracy without diversity? Why are we going in a circle and repeating the same mistakes all over again? Why can’t we break this old order!? And breakout from this political slavery!”

She further encouraged her followers to vote for a leader and not a trend.
“Vote a leader, not a trend, vote your conscience, not to belong or score points,” she wrote.
