Denying The Obvious In The Peter Obi Momentum: Why Would Melaye Call ‘The Rock Of Rebuilding’, A Social Media Euphoria?

Peter Obi visited Redemption City as a first timer, and watch the lavish welcome.
Truly, it's JESUS we are celebrating, not the man Peter Obi.
It is Jesus Christ who is the Author and Finisher of Our Faith.
It is Jesus Christ who loves this nation so much and has given us a 'Rock' upon which we can rebuild the ruins of our nation. pic.twitter.com/i0PuRMdBCI#RCCG— Godwin Chidịebube Chidịadị (@GodwynChidiadi) August 13, 2022
And just imagine the spontaneous rally in Calabar.
Dino Melaye when asked about the “OBIdient Wave”, said, there's no wave, it's just “Social Media Euphoria”

Calabar OBIdients this morning showed him it's moved beyond social media, people are tired and want someone like Peter Obi!

Yet The Atiku Abubakar Campaign Organization Spokesperson Dino Melaye spins without adequate research as if propaganda would win elections next year:
Dino Melaye AGAIN. “Gani Fawehinmi once ran for the Presidency of this country. Facebook went agog, at the end of the day, he got 1,400 votes.”

Except that, when Gani ran for President, it was 2003, and Facebook wasn’t founded until 2004.
Also, Gani got 161,333 votes! pic.twitter.com/xslLzPa866
As an apostle of turn by turn presidential candidacy, Senator Dino Melaye has got it wrong because he is definitely seeing the momentum on the streets. Since what his eyes are showing him are in significant opposition to his personal political interests, it is understandable that he may use the platform he has to try and confuse his listeners.
But the Youths who want Nigeria to work will not buy his theory.
Imagine! From Owerri to Sokoto, Maiduguri, Gombe, Lokoja, Uyo, Calabar, Warri, Benin-City, Jalingo, Makurdi, Port Harcourt, Ibadan, Oshogbo, Lagos, Akure etc. Yet Dino Melaye speaks to the contrary?
He needs help to get back to the Senate, when Yahaya Bello, his state governor, leaves office.
