Cross Okonkwo, a former Big Brother Naija ‘Shine Ya Eye’ housemate, has come under fire online for claiming that Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi is selfish in his presidential ambition.
WITHIN NIGERIA reports that the reality TV star made the claim in a video clip from a political event titled ‘Atiku Youth World Outreach,’ which surfaced online.
Cross, who is a supporter of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, asked in the video why Peter Obi is being selfish by contesting despite knowing he cannot win the 2023 election.
In his words:
Why is Peter Obi a bit selfish? Why is he being selfish when he knows that he cannot win this election? Why is he doing that? Explain to me, I want to know how?
This earned him several criticisms; some called his statement insensitive, while others questioned why he entered the BBNaija show knowing he would not win.

I heard he was in BBN but he didn’t win. Why did he go into the house to contest when he knew he wasn’t going to win??? Maybe we should start from there, I don’t think he will be able to comprehend if I ask further questions but he should answer this particular one.”
