"Allow Peter Obi To Give You A Better Country" — Yoruba Actor, Laide Olabanji by otrasane(op): 7:11pm On Sep 26

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpqq1Asj11s?si=v3e7pi6XBvrC5Ogy



Yoruba actor Laide Olabanji has urged Nigerians to support Peter Obi ahead of the 2027 presidential election, saying the country’s future should take precedence over ethnic loyalty.

In a message shared on Instagram, Olabanji argued that the ability to improve Nigeria should not be judged by how long a leader remains in office.

He cited the military administrations of former Head of State Yakubu Gowon and his successor, Murtala Muhammed, to support his position.

“If someone can destroy a country in three years, another good man can make it better in just one year. Gowon ruled for nine years, Gen. Murtala Muhammed repaired it in just six months.”

The actor then appealed to Nigerians to look beyond tribal considerations when choosing their leaders.

“So if your tribe person can’t give you a better life, allow Peter Obi to give you a better country. The future of your children is very important.”

Olabanji’s comments come amid growing political activity and debate ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections. He specifically encouraged Nigerians to support Peter Obi, the former Anambra State governor and opposition figure.

The actor’s intervention adds to the growing involvement of Nigerian entertainers in political discussions, particularly on issues of leadership, ethnicity, accountability and the country’s future.

Similar support has also emerged from other Nollywood personalities. Actress Rita Edochie recently declared her backing for Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso, urging Nigerians to reject vote-buying, political thuggery and the alleged manipulation of electoral mandates.

Olabanji’s statement has, however, remained a political opinion and appeal to voters; it does not by itself establish the candidates’ electoral prospects or guarantee any particular outcome in 2027.

YOU OBVIOUSLY ARE EITHER IGNORANT ABOUT WHO PETER OBI IS OR DELUSION HAS YOU IN A DEATH GRIP! HE IS A LIAR WHO COOKED ANAMBRA STATE BOOKS TO SUPPORT HIS FALSE NARRATIVE THAT HE LEFT NO DEBTS WHEN HE WAS GOVERNOR.

Nigerians, allow Peter Obi to give you a better country, a country you can be proud of...to rescue this country from the dungeon of hardship, death, hunger, and the unbearable cost of living that Tinubu has sunk it into.

Me singing Dbanj, Olorun Ma'je oo

Obi was seen running speedily at the airport trying to catch up with his flight. Like running, hahahah say wetin happen, how much is a chopper charter?

There is nothing presidential about him

How would Peter Obi even represent Nigeria at a global stage without being incoherent to questions

May God bless this wonderful actor for speaking the truth when truth has become a taboo in Nigeria
Re: "Allow Peter Obi To Give You A Better Country" — Yoruba Actor, Laide Olabanji by Jakpon: 9:17pm On Sep 26
A vote for Peter Obi is a vote for the reversal of the fortunes of Nigeria. A vote for Peter Obi is a vote for retrogression

Laide Olabanji did peter obi gave better governance to people of anambra state or increasing poverty rates as governor of small anambra state is part of good governernce in your dictionary?
Re: "Allow Peter Obi To Give You A Better Country" — Yoruba Actor, Laide Olabanji by flokii: 10:31pm On Sep 26
He should have given his people better life and better State so they won't all be trooping into South West in search of greener pastures.
If not for Yorubas, can those people survive?.. the so called Yoruba actor must be very dumb for him to spew such nonsense.

Don't mind the ldiot.. If Obi was that good, why didn't he transform his home State Anambra to become Dubai of Africa.
People without intellectual capacity thinking governance is by social media noise and empty talks.

Seyi Makinde is more competent than all South East Governors dead or alive put together. Oyo State is equivalent to 3 States in South East combined, yet the State is fairing well with meagre resources it gets as allocation.

See the level you have degenerated to.

Don’t trample over another man, in order to be elevated. You need spiritual healing.

That I was able to see that guy's comments, his blocking must have expired which I have renewed sharply.

He is a testament to the fact that a whole lot of Yorubas like me do not want Tinubu back on that seat.

Give it to Peter Obi and send that fraud of a president back whence he came.

He ain't Yoruba because omo Oodua gidi kankan o kin huwa bii ipanle, jagidijagan tabi adigun jale - impoverishing your own people just to make your friends and associates rich.

Nah, we don't do that as true Yorubas.
