Peter Obi addressing Nigerians in Washington DC

when Obi says there is “no reason” to keep Kanu detained and speaks broadly of engaging agitators, he sounds less like a future commander-in-chief and more like a politician handling a sensitive ethnic flashpoint with dangerous softness. That is politically damaging.

Reuters also reported that a 2025 study linked separatist sit-at-home enforcement in the South East to more than 700 deaths.

Nothing way anybody go fit tell me. Nairaland had been bought by APC. Last election they discovered that anything Obi used to pull thousands of likes, APC had to bribe the owners of nairaland to add up likes on any abuses targeted at Obi and also ban at any slightest comment against APC from Obi supporters inother to reduce their likes. It is a simple research I conducted. Anyone can conduct the same. Go through last elections period comments and see for yourselves and compare it with now. Also notice that any topic against PO, the first ten comment pull high likes and nonesense comment against Obi and the Obidient. Those are APC handiwork. I strongly believe it’s a plan strategy to make it look like nairalanders don’t like PO and that Nigerians love the failed Tinubu regime but the realities in the real world says differently.

Another clear proof to further buttress my findings is that anytime you quote this APC nairaland handlers they reply you in a minuete. It shows they were planted here to always engage and attack. They are jobless and have nothing to do than fight anything Obi and Obidient. Notice they are not even selling their failed president bc there is nothing to sell about him.

This is the classic refuge of a weak argument: when reality becomes uncomfortable, invent a conspiracy. Nairaland is now APC. Likes are now bribed. Replies are now evidence of payroll. So in your world, every disagreement must be purchased because it cannot possibly be genuine. That is not analysis; that is political superstition.

If Obi is as strong as you claim, defend him with facts. But once every criticism becomes “APC bought them,” you are no longer debating politics — you are running a shrine of excuses.[i][/i] A man who blames the mirror for his face will never see himself clearly.

And let us be honest: the reason some anti-Obi comments attract support is not always because APC paid for them. Sometimes it is because people are tired of Obidient abuse, arrogance, and excuse-making. Not every reply is a bribe. Not every disagreement is a plot. Sometimes people simply disagree with you.

There is a proverb: the child who is afraid of every sound in the night will soon begin to call the moon a thief. That is where this kind of thinking leads — paranoia replacing reason.

If you have evidence, bring it. If all you have is suspicion, then stop dressing imagination as research. In politics, facts are stronger than feelings, and conspiracy is not a substitute for argument.

that's what we are saying, he made u so drunk that u couldn't think straight.

Check the present worth of eko Atlantic n tell me the worth of peter obi brewery which is now reduced to nothing

Tell him Eko Atlantic is not a rumour, it is a skyline. And now Phase 5 is on the way. That is what Tinubu's visionary audacity looks like: not endless grammar, but a city literally pushing back the Atlantic.

DomPerignon:
Obi was not honest in anyway in his statement regarding Kanu's present predicament.

Obi lied that Kanu is being held for merely insulting people.

This is not what he was arraigned for and convicted of.

Kanu was convicted on terrorism and treasonable felony charges for being the leader and orchestrator if a violent terrorist group that had since been proscribed and which was responsible for series of violent terrorist acts across the SE..

You Dey mind the silly thing? I was only playing along. I always tell people this, don’t let anybody take your life from you in this country because the dead are the biggest losers here. Imagine even Peter Obi is now defending that same man whose actions and utterances led to the killings of hundreds of innocent people. Today, he’s now being celebrated as a hero. People have suddenly forgotten that this man killed whole humans. I still remember how that POS girl, the army couple and several police officers were killed in the most gruesome manner possible but today, the man whose utterances were what led to the loss of those lives is now being said to be innocent. How exactly did Obi expect all the bereaved families to take that silly statement of his?
This people (politicians) just get money, them no get even zero sense. An intelligent person would naturally know this is not the right period to utter such silly and insensitive statement. It’s grossly unfair to those who lost their lives and those of their loved ones.

Peter Obi’s latest remarks on Nnamdi Kanu show, once again, a troubling weakness in political judgment. In 2022, Kwankwaso’s camp argued that many northern voters already viewed Obi through the prism of IPOB and Biafra.
Now, in 2026, Obi has again said there is “no reason” to keep Kanu detained and that he would “engage” and “consult” agitators if he were in power.

That is politically reckless. There is a Yoruba wisdom that fits this perfectly: if people already whisper that a man is a thief, he should not be seen dancing too closely with a goat. Whether the suspicion is fair or not, a serious leader avoids gestures that deepen it. That is the problem here. Obi is not simply expressing compassion; he is reopening an old perception problem he should be trying to close.

And this goes beyond perception. A future commander-in-chief must sound like a guardian of the state, not a politician too eager to blur the line between grievance and violent agitation.
He should be reassuring the whole federation that he will be firm, balanced, and nationally minded. Instead, Obi too often sounds like a man handling a dangerous national-security issue with the softness of a sectional politician.[i][/i]

That is why this matters. A president must rise above ethnic sentiment and local emotional pressure. When Obi speaks this way, he risks sounding less like a national leader and more like an ethnic agenda champion in search of wider office.

Obi is totally unfit for leadership. simple.

might not be fulani take up or liv it

Wow, so you mean Soludo was right?
You mean the ibos are the ones kidnapping, raping, maiming and killing themsleves while hanging it on the innocent fulanis?🤣🤣
Thanks for this revelation. We all owe Governor Soludo an unreserved apology.

QuotaSystem:
This his romance and sympathies for terrorist IPOB/Nnamdi Kanu is one of the CORE reasons why he can’t get Northern votes, and consequently can’t win the elections.

Thankfully, Dickson is already taking care of business, while we continue taking care of AbdulKanu in Sokoto

You guys are very pathetic you supported buhari who openly supported bokoharam who are far worse than ipob but hated obi because he is talked about dialogueing with nmk to find a political solution to the crises in the south east.

Avoid comments that has anything that has to do with the military. Kanu is not just facing the law but also the police and military

You’re the pathetic one for the following reasons:

1. Buhari never openly supported BH. Rather he has openly condemned them as terrorists, something PitObi has never done to IPOB/ESN terrorists. FACT.

2. IPOB are just as deadly as Boko Haram. From behe*dings to kidnappings to extra-judicial ki**ings. They’re even worse because they added cannibalism. FACT.

3. Kanu is a tried and convicted terrorist serving his sentence. FACT. There is no window for dialogue remaining.

hush15:
You tell me the worth, worth that is not in government coffers, worth that doesn't have any impact on the people, worth that doesn't translate into better standard of living. Go to that same Atlantic land, you can count the number of buildings on it after how many years. How many jobs has it created. What tax does it generate for government. The road that leads to it, how has it better off.


Oga, you the one drunk o. Person hoard piece of land and selling it to who he wants, you saying nonsense.

You need hero beer abeg to save your life. That Atlantic nonsense is cutting it abeg.

does the Atlantic exist?

Show me one thing that can be seen as obi legacy?

Keep deceiving urself same buhari that openly warned gej that fighting against bokoharam is fighting the entire northern nigeria, nmk is well known internationally as a freedom fighter only the nigerian state recognised him as a terrorist for obvious reasons which every sane person already knows no other country in this world recognised him as a terrorist. Nigeria can't be more knowledgeable than civilised countries like the US and UK who have refused to follow nigeria to label him as a terrorist he will definitely be free when the time is due for him to be free and by then haters and bigots like u are very free to go commit mass suicides in nigeria.

I just de laugh at Obi ' s comments 😂and of course his former Obedient beleaguered -
footsoldiers.
First Obi is never Presidential and even till now,for he was cornered with the Kanu' s question,as he has been dodging Serious issues on Nigeria.
Did P.Obi ever listen to Kanu-Radio Biafra -Where he said he would born down Lagos and Lagos Must be captured at all Cost ?
Is Obi aware that Kanu was brought to Nigeria from Kenya by Late Buhari Not Tinubu govt?
If Obi think that having Kwankwaso with him guaranteed votes on his side,he yet to know the Nigerian Politics well.
These Are Facts and TRUTH!
Besides,Is it A Kwankwaso - Former Defense Minister - that Could Not Destroy -the Bokoham Terrorists, Bandits and Kidnappers Criminals - that will help him ?
tohr

This news is fake. No source to back it up

DomPerignon:
You don't need to tell us what your obi intends to do if he gets to power because we already know that he is an ibo supremacist.

As per power, you will never smell it.

Game over for Gringory.....You are seeking Election,and you don't know how to control your words??

Those who lost their Love Ones due to the Madnwss of IPOB/ESN Instigated by Kanu Will Clap, and Vote for you abi ??

Streetinvestor2:
The only reason your Yoruba president jailed him is because of SW envy and hate over SE.He jailed him so that his people will see it as trophy over SE.
We are happy as obi is in alliance with north
So obi or Atiku presidency will release kanu

Peter Obi said Nmadi Kanu did nothing wrong

I don't understand how he expects to be elected President of Nigeria when he clearly supports a secessionist terrorist leader.
