A TikToker has shared an observation about a recent video of Nigerian politician, Peter Obi at the gym taking on his workout routine.
According to the poster, the former Labour Party presidential candidate cleaned off his fingerprints from the workout machine after with a white material after making use of it
In the clip, the former Anambra State governor is seen engaged in an intense workout session, walking on a treadmill and visibly sweating.
After that, he stepped aside, picked up a piece of tissue, and carefully wipes the equipment which the poster insinuated was a move to erase his fingerprints.
Sharing the video, the TikToker wrote:
“Watch how Peter Obi erased his fingerprints after using the gym. Man is too smart. 10 steps ahead of his opponents. No tackle agenda oo😂😂”
The gesture has since drawn varied interpretations from the public. Some viewers described it as basic gym etiquette, noting that it is standard practice to clean equipment after use for hygiene purposes.
Others, however, suggested a more calculated motive, arguing that Obi may have been deliberately removing his fingerprints to avoid leaving any trace that could potentially be used against him.
Here are some of the reactions.
@samonejire: “Nope. At the gym, it is a custom to wipe your sweat off the machine when you are done using it.”
@Tony pepperoni: “it seems like you’ve never been to the gym before, it is a normal thing to clean after exercise on any machine.”
