Yul Edochie, a Nollywood actor and politician, has stated that Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, cannot become President of Nigeria at this time.
Edochie made the claim in a post uploaded on his official X feed on Tuesday, dismissing Obi’s political strength and recent involvement in opposition coalition efforts ahead of the 2027 general elections.
According to him, Obi’s stated connection with the African Democratic Congress is already “dead on arrival” and a “total waste of time.”
He wrote, “Any political party Peter Obi joins will scatter. Whatever he’s doing with ADC is dead on arrival. A total waste of time. It’s not a physical problem. It’s deeper than that.
” I’m surprised he doesn’t know this already. Or maybe he knows but chooses to ignore it. But the truth remains the truth. Peter Obi cannot be President of Nigeria now.”
Edochie, who is a known supporter of President Bola Tinubu, further suggested that Obi’s political influence is misunderstood and that his presence in any coalition effort weakens rather than strengthens such platforms.
