Peter Obi Crying.webp
The Digest:

The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has launched a scathing attack on Peter Obi, telling the former Labour Party presidential candidate to "forget about the 2027 presidential election" after his party lost his own polling unit in the Anambra governorship election. APC spokesman Seye Oladejo questioned how Obi could aspire to lead Nigeria when he couldn't secure victory in his immediate community.

Key Points:
  • Lagos APC declared Obi should abandon 2027 presidential ambitions
  • Criticism followed the Labor Party's loss at Obi's polling unit
  • APC spokesman said, "A man who cannot win his polling unit has no business dreaming of winning a country."
  • Described the defeat as "complete disintegration of the myth around Peter Obi"
  • Accused Obi of seeking "foreign intervention" for political salvation
  • Contrasted Obi's "propaganda" with President Tinubu's "performance"
  • Called the APC's victory in Obi's unit "symbolic, conclusive, and prophetic"
As political tensions escalate ahead of 2027, this verbal assault signals the beginning of what promises to be a fiercely contested presidential campaign, a storm where every electoral outcome becomes ammunition in the war of political narratives.
