How Can Anyone Hate Peter Obi? He Has Infectious Likeableness – US Prof of Journalism

I honestly have a hard time understanding the untempered hate often directed at him by his critics. You may disagree with his politics, but he has such a peaceful, restrained, and likeable public persona.

A United States-based Professor of Journalism at Kennesaw State has said the attack on, Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate, ahead of the 2023 election by critics is misplaced.

 

Newsonline reports that Farooq Kerogi, who expressed his love for the peaceful disposition of the former Anambra State governor in his presidential ambition said, Peter Obi’s political philosophy is unlike the average Nigerian politician.

 

Farooq said, “Peter Obi comes across as a humble, conciliatory, mild-mannered, and good-natured person—in contrast to his toxic, obnoxious online devotees whose rhetorical causticity he habitually has a need to restrain with words of caution.”

 

He added, “I honestly have a hard time understanding the untempered hate often directed at him by his critics. You may disagree with his politics, but he has such a peaceful, restrained, and likeable public persona.

 

“He never requites the unkind digs thrown at him by his opponents. He always rises superior to mud-slinging. He is always kind and respectful even to his traducers. What’s not to like about that?

“He understands that to broaden his base, he needs to win over people outside his fanbase. It takes maturity, intelligence, and self-awareness to do that, particularly in our increasingly polarized world.”

 

The US-based Professor of Journalism called on the critics of Peter Obi and other presidential candidates to learn from the Labour Party presidential candidate’s infectious likeableness.

 

“Yes, it’s legitimate to disagree with him (the choices he made as governor of Anambra, his fibs, exaggerations, self-serving autobiographical embellishments, messianism, etc.), but how can you hate someone who radiates such infectious likeableness?” He added.
