Bassey is set to beat Tondon’s 87 hours and 45 minutes at a location in Lagos where politicians across the divide have stood in solidarity with the 27 year-old chef.
Infact, it was on record that the Nigerian president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, was the first politician to wish her well.
“IDAN doesn’t break, she breaks records. We are rooting for you Hilda,” a comment was attributed to the president-elect.
However, a lady, zizi 🇳🇬 (@Animashaun2727), has pointed out that as compared to Obidients, appellation used to address Peter Obi’s supporters, Batists have better capacity at being objective and less partisan when it comes to the general good of the country.
This is coming on heels of Bassey’s political posts against the president-elect and the ruling party, All Progressives Congress, surfacing on social media, which allegedly confirmed she is also an Obidient.
“The Hilda Baci the world is rooting for publicly insulted Tinubu and his supporters but despite the insult Tinubu was the first politician to give a shout out to her, trust me if she was a Batist the obidients will drag the hell outta her.
“Fortunately The batist are sane and Cultured humans,Congratulations to her though❤️
“I honestly pity the innocent Nigerians that joined the obidients movement. They just wanted a New Nigeria with a new candidate
If only they know the hidden agenda behind the movement. Thankfully they have showed them now, look at peter obi lawyers representing him at the Court, The Abuja residents that do not want the inauguration hold. The ohaneze group and thier selfish demand Peter obi not endorsing lamidi Apapa as LP chairman. So No yoruba or hausa resident of Abuja is obidient enough? Yoruba lawyers aren’t professional enough for obi?
“The Hausas and yorubas have been badly sidelined you might call me a bigot but here is something obi and his obidients won’t tell you OBIDIENTS MOVEMENT IS STRICTLY IGBO MOVEMENT.
“The U.S.A chimamanda wrote a letter to is about to impose ban on visas of people threatening Nigerias democracy i.e the obidients
One of the obidients protester In U.S.A was arrested and is about to be charged to court! Alot of you will be forgotten in prison if you move funny,” she submitted unedited.
Interestingly enough, Hilda Bassey has disowned the Twitter handle quoted above as @HildaBacci_ and claimed her official handle is @Hildabaci__ 15hours ago.
All attempts to track down the disputed account, @HildaBacci_, proved abortive as the handle was no longer in existence as at the time of publishing this report.
