During the presidential debate which took place yesterday, The Presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi publicly expressed his anger at politician Dino Melaye whilst the debate was in progress at the presidential town hall meeting organized by Arise TV on Sunday night, November 6.
This happened when one of the attendees stood up to question the presidential candidates and Dino was heard saying “Na wa o, Obi people.” On hearing the words of Dino, Peter Obi snapped at him.
“Stop that Dino. Why are you always calling me? I won’t take that. This man is from ANPP. Why are you calling him Obi people?” a visibly angry Peter Obi said. Obviously the attendee who asked a question was from ANPP, and Dino was in a hurry to throw shades at Peter Obi which Peter didn’t take lightly.

President Tinubu Restructures Media and Communications Team
President Bola Tinubu has re-designated the positions of two recently appointed officials in the State House media and communications team to enhance efficiency within the government’s communication machinery.
The restructuring is as follows:

2. Mr. Daniel Bwala – announced last week as Special Adviser, Media and Public Communication, is now special adviser Policy Communication.
These appointments, along with the existing role of Special Adviser, Information and Strategy , underscore that there is no single individual spokesperson for the Presidency.
