Vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Peter Obi became the butt of Twitter trolls on Friday over his reference to China during the vice presidential debate on Friday night.
The former Anambra State governor demonstrated his admiration for China by sharing figures of the Asian country’s economy.
That was not lost on social media who expressed their feelings during and after the debate ended.
Dear China,
Come and carry your Vice President. It was nice doing business with you people… pic.twitter.com/HN2x5iG61D— Philip Obin (@PhilipObin) December 14, 2018
The most damaging campaign in which Peter Obi is engaged is always citing what China & other great countries did all these years to become great whereas these countries didn’t do all these in the last 3 years. They did these during the same period his party destroyed our future

Here is my take away:
Peter Obi is an expert on China issues.
Yemi Osinbajo is an expert on running a government
The other 3 are experts on participating in the Olympics.#2019debate

I would have loved Peter Obi to make examples of African countries, like Rwanda, Botswana etc as stellar countries not this huge adoration for China. Just my thoughts! #VPdebate #2019Dabate
