A spokesperson for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Bolaji Abdullahi, has ignited political debate after casting doubt on the electoral strength of Peter Obi.
“Obi cannot survive competitive politics,” Abdullahi said, in remarks that have drawn reactions across Nigeria’s political landscape.
The statement comes amid ongoing realignments and positioning ahead of future elections, where questions around coalition-building, grassroots appeal, and party structures remain central to electoral success.
Supporters of Obi, a former presidential candidate, have pushed back against the claim, pointing to his performance in previous elections and his growing base of supporters, particularly among younger voters.
Analysts say the comments reflect intensifying rhetoric among political actors as parties and their representatives seek to shape public perception and consolidate influence in an increasingly contested political environment.
