Ibom Air saga: Peter Obi slams 'double standards'
Legit.ng reported that Peter Obi earlier condemned the dehumanising treatment meted out to an Ibom Air passenger, Miss Comfort Emmanson.
Obi said there are double standards in the way and manner Miss Emmanson was treated compared to how Fuji musician, Ayinde Wasiu aka KWAM 1, was treated at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.
Obi follows the crowd, provoking the public - Omokri
Reacting, Omokri alleged that Peter Obi "follows the crowd, whether they are right or wrong. His statement was provocative and could have incited the public. Moreover, it was based on a wrong premise."

Omokri, a staunch supporter of President Bola Tinubu's administration, tweeted:
"This situation is completely different from that involving King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, AKA K1 De Ultimate.
"There is a difference between defying officials outside a plane, which is what K1 De Ultimate did and violence on and off the plane, which is what Ms. Comfort Emmanson did.
"Peter Obi releasing a statement this morning questioning the call by Nigeria's aviation authorities, twisting the sequence of events and inserting himself as a judge and jury is an unfortunate behaviour from a man who wants to be Nigeria's President.
"Nigerians are largely emotional and need a rational leader to guide them along the lines of facts and law and order.
Peter Obi is not such a person. He follows the crowd, whether they are right or wrong. His statement yesterday was provocative and could have incited the public. Moreover, it was based on a wrong premise.
"How can Nigerians expect a man who does not know what the word 'defection' means and was arguing with Dr. Reuben Abati that he had never defected from a party, he 'just left' to give them guidance on a sensitive issue like the one concerning Ms. Comfort Emmanson?
"Peter Obi is desperate to be Nigerian President and will say ANYTHING, no matter the consequences. He also has a cult following primarily based on ethnicity, and his followers will blindly support him."
