Thaddeus Attah , a member of the Labour Party who represents the Eti-Osa Federal Constituency of Lagos State, caused a sensation on social media when images of him wearing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s signature cap appeared online.
Attah was among those who triumphed in the 2023 presidential election, which certain analysts credited to the success of Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate.
While reacting, some Nigerians asked Attah what he was up to.
Posting on his X handle, one Prince Saviour stated, “Opposition Otilo ooh. Our Lagos Labour Party House of Representatives, Representing Eti OSA Federal Constituency Putting on Tinubu cap. Ire ooh. What pains most is the people sacrifices, time, resources, sweat and tears and blood put together to elect this guys voluntary.”
Tweeting via @JustKingss, another X user said, “Nobody elected him bro, nobody even knew him. The thing is everyone was voting LP from top to bottom so he was lucky that Peter Obi’s grace got him elected. If it was by candidate Banky W was the best candidate and everyone knew about that. The odds for him joining APC for next.”
A. Adedotun @Sen_Adedotun reacted saying “Politics is about personal interest. Don’t be surprised he will decamp to APC before 2027”.
abbeygovernor @abbeygovernor1 commented saying, “It’s called Poltics; no permanent enemies just common interest sir.”
Although Attah has not stated that he is planning to defect, tongues have been wagging about his actions indicating an intent to defect.
