We won’t vote for Obi because he’ll import alcohol into the North  - APC chieftain

Alwan Hassan, a northern chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has declared that the North will not vote for Peter Obi in the 2027 presidential election because he is involved in alcohol importation.

Hassan, who made the remarks while speaking on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ on Tuesday.

“Who else do you think will defeat Asiwaju in 2027? Who? Peter Obi that was on your programme saying he wants the North to support him and in the same programme he was celebrating a brewery in Anambra State and being the biggest importer of alcohol,” Hassan said.

“And you want the North to vote for him? We will vote for a president that will import alcohol in the North?”

The APC stalwart questioned the logic of fielding a candidate whose business ventures, in his view, conflict with the region’s predominantly Muslim culture and values.

Obi, who has announced his intention to contest in the 2027 election with a one-term pledge, has consistently drawn criticism from APC figures since his declaration.

Speaking further, Hassan dismissed the opposition coalition formed on the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), describing it as a weak alliance driven by individual ambition rather than a united purpose.

“The ADC is a coalition of angry people with a strategy,” he said. “Everyone of them wants to be president. Asiwaju will be president.”

The opposition bloc, which includes key figures such as Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar, Rotimi Amaechi, Nasir El-Rufai and others, has since its launch positioned itself as a potential alternative to the ruling APC in 2027.

But Hassan believes their efforts are futile. According to him, Tinubu’s administration will consolidate power and emerge victorious again in the next general elections.

“With the facts on the ground, President Tinubu will be re-elected in sha Allah,” he said.

Please don't make racist and tribalistic comments on this thread or you will see the other side of me

Clearly the North is trying to avoid the scenario that played out in Anambra state where Peter Obi entrenched beer parlours in every street corner to grow his Hero alcohol brand while poverty rate in the state doubled under his watch.

Lolz , dey play . Some of you just sit down and start cooking up theories .

Did GEJ import any? If no, why should Obi?

There was no law against alcohol production and sales in Anambra and even the laws in the north are selective because they are just an advanced form of gentlemanly agreement between consenting muslims.

Besides, which is more dangerous? Alcohol or hard drugs?

"beer parlour gist". Who's the North? Stop using the North to chase shadows. You mention the "North" as though it's an individual or only a particular group of people or a particular ethnic group. Every northerner has a mind of his/her own. We'll chose who we want. Pls stop spreading bigoted news of this nature

Yeye. Is there any law against alcohol use and production in the Nigerian constitution keeping Obi a Nigerian?
As we speak, many muslims are fermenting corn into alcohol secretly but they act like clinically produced ones are from the devil.

But North will vote Tinubu who is associated with looting abi

Dan Allah kayi shiru if you don't have what to say. We are already for OBI the Tsunami, Sarkin Salama, Mai Gaskiya mu Kai so!

So all those his trips to the north, sitting on the floor and pretending to pray with them are all just a waste of time and money?

Ok Obi is also the highest importer of tea through Ovaltine Ltd. So he can use that to campaign in the North. Once you tell them that Obi dey import Lipton, na sai Obi sai Obi….

Imagine rubbish talk.
I always ask God, who do us like this in this country?
I blamed the almagamation did on this country

Yes o, but they caaan vote for Tinubu because he is associted with heroine and other drugs ba? I like the way your hypocricy makes you shift the goal post after the referee starts the match.

Alcohol same Northerners are consuming in mammy markets and other alcohol joints? Alcoholism is the least of the north's problem that Peter Obi can help them solve.

Like WTF, this APC looters are bringing religion inside politics. So because obi open a brewery that generated money day in day out, he shouldn't be the president and shouldn't work for the good of the country because he has a brewery? Shame on you all

Hi everyone, I'm schizophrenic and always talking to myself. I'm also talkative and at times I'll be violent to anyone around me. Please what is the solution to my mental health. Thanks.

Send me email let me know more about your situation.

You guys really think these pedestrian politics will save Tinubu's defeat in 2027?
