Reacting moments after the show went live, Baba-Ahmed called for focus ahead of next year’s general elections, which he described as a ‘battle’.

“Dear #Obidients please don’t be distracted with the new season of the Tv show #BBNaija we have a battle ahead of us,” the economist tweeted.

The Labour Party has a huge following on social media. Supporters of Obi are known as #Obidients.

However, after Baba- Ahmed dropped his opinion about the reality show, several Nigerians backed him, while others criticised his tweet.

@andy_graba tweeted: “BBNAIJA is not necessary”

@IsDamisa opined: “Pls respect other people’s past-time. Face the serious battle of building a formidable structure for our party across all strata. It’s obviously lacking and calls for concern. Meanwhile allow those who want to enjoy BBN to do so in peace.”

@Iheoma Justine wrote: “We will not sir we are working with you till the end”

@Daiwhizzy also wrote: “VP don’t worry, our multitasking skills are intact. #Obidients #ObiDatti”

Baba-Ahmed was picked as running mate to Obi on July 8, 2022.
