Prominent journalist and political commentator Donu Kogbara has highlighted the overwhelming public interest in Labour Party’s Peter Obi compared to other major opposition figures, stating that a single program she produced on Obi attracted 611 new subscribers to her YouTube channel, while a similar effort featuring Atiku Abubakar and Rotimi Amaechi brought in only 170 combined.

Speaking on Arise News on Monday, July 7, 2025, Kogbara made the striking comparison during a discussion on the dynamics of Nigeria’s evolving opposition politics and the early groundwork being laid ahead of the 2027 general elections.

“After the program on Peter Obi, I got 611 new subscribers. But when I did a program about Amaechi and Atiku the following week, I only got something like 170,” she said, emphasizing the glaring gap in public engagement.

Kogbara explained that both programs were designed to test public interest in key opposition figures. The Obi-focused content, she said, was not only widely viewed but also generated enthusiastic reactions from a broader online audience. In contrast, the program dedicated to praising the qualities of Atiku and Amaechi struggled to generate traction, despite her efforts to present both men in a positive light.

Like I said politics is a game of numbers.

Peter Obi and Atiku have tested there popularity on the field and collectively has 14 million votes, far above Tinubu's 8 million dwindling votes.

The coalition should build on that and ensure that Obi and Atiku stays on the same ballot.

El-rufai can mobilize votes in the NW. He should also counter any religious propaganda that Tinubu and his co-travellers will pay Northern Imams and religious leaders to propagate against the coalition. We know they will be paid to target PO because he is Christian, and whip up rabid religious sentiments to sway votes..


Rotimi Amaechi is experienced already as a former campaign DG of APC, he can bring his experience to bear again and work for an Obi-Atiku joint ticket.

Any other game plan apart from this will come to naught..

The truth is that nobody listens to Peter Obi with an open mind without learning something because he's very knowledgeable. Sadly, I cannot say that for others. All over the internet, netizens follow accounts that they get value from.

Try do a program on tinubu you will get 5000 people unsubscribe you immediately.

We at our great party ADC believes that Peter Obi is the best man to make Nigeria work again.

Una no wan learn
Politics no be for social media them dey run am reason Tinubu is never perturbed by your rants online
The real voters are in the farm most doesn't even have access to radio not to talk of an Android phone.
Tinubu was unpopular online but still won in 2023. Very soon Peter Obi will be winning several online polls but will still lose the real election.
Leave social media, go and convince the Hausa/Fulani man

If you get sense like this, then you too should go and collect form and contest nah

VladimirTheGrea:
Obi said sacrifices must be made.

If that is true, he must enter a joint ticket with Atiku so the urban bandit will have no way to rig the election.

Atiku is ADC and ADC is Atiku. You guys should tell your messaih to build a party and contest with it. Atiku will any day pick the ticket of the coalition.

Peter Obi as the concensus presidential candidate of the coalition is non-negotiable

There's nothing in politics that's non-negotiable. Obi knows that in a coalition without a primary likely, he may not emerge which will amount to distraction if he wasn't involved in the first place.

So get it right

Atiku with an established PDP with governors and structure got only 6.9 million votes, but you think with an ADC he will win Tinubu? . Obi with a less popular Labour party with no structure and governor got 6 million. some times make una use una brain they do calculations. Atiku stands a better chance in PDP, he will only get 4 million votes in ADC, mark my words

U need test same on Bola Tinubu and see if if he can get even 10 audience.

Shameless president.

Peter Obi or nothing.
When APC emerged, everybody knew Buhari was gonna be the presidential candidate, the primary was to fulfill all righteousness.

We want same for Obi is by far the most popular in the coalition and we nor dey give shishi
