Social media commentator Miss Goldilocks has reacted to the controversy involving Flagboy and the reported burning of an NDC flag, questioning why a political disagreement with Mama Pee should result in the destruction of party symbols.
In a statement shared online, Miss Goldilocks expressed disbelief over the incident and criticised those who said Mama Pee’s political activities had influenced their decision not to support Peter Obi.
She argued that disagreements with an individual supporter should not necessarily determine a person’s position on a political candidate.
According to her, people who are unhappy with the way Mama Pee promotes Peter Obi could simply distance themselves from her content rather than abandoning their preferred political choice.
Miss Goldilocks suggested that critics could block Mama Pee’s account and independently create content promoting Peter Obi in the manner they believe is more effective.
Her comments have added another layer to the ongoing online debate surrounding political advocacy, personalities and the influence of individual supporters.
The controversy has also highlighted how political discussions on social media can become increasingly personal, with disagreements over campaign styles sometimes overshadowing conversations about candidates and their policies.
While some users agreed with Miss Goldilocks and maintained that political support should be based on a candidate’s record and ideas rather than individual supporters, others continued to criticise Mama Pee’s approach to political advocacy.
The incident has sparked further discussion about the role of social media personalities in Nigerian politics and whether their methods of supporting candidates help or hurt the campaigns they represent.
