‘Any Political Party Peter Obi Joins Will Scatter’ — Yul Edochie

Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has sparked fresh political debate after openly criticising the presidential prospects of Peter Obi.

The actor, in a post shared on his official X page, dismissed Obi’s political direction and any potential alignment with the African Democratic Congress (ADC), describing it as futile.

“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.”

The statement has since generated widespread reactions across social media platforms, with Nigerians expressing divided opinions over the actor’s remarks.

While some users backed Edochie’s stance, others argued that Obi remains a significant force in Nigeria’s political landscape, especially following his performance in the 2023 general elections.

The development highlights ongoing political conversations as stakeholders and observers begin to look ahead to future electoral cycles, with party alignments and public perception expected to play critical roles.
