NDC Claims APC Attacks on Peter Obi Reflects His Popularity

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has attributed the attacks on its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to Obi's growing support among Nigerians as the 2027 general elections approach. Osa Director, the NDC National Publicity Secretary, stated that the APC is concerned about Obi's political standing and is attempting to undermine him.

Director emphasized that the ultimate decision regarding leadership lies with the electorate, asserting that Obi is the most preferred candidate. He criticized Abayomi Arabambi's move to seek Obi's academic records from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, calling it an abuse of court process, while noting that Obi has shown openness regarding the release of his records.

Director also questioned the credibility of a Labour Party National Working Committee member who claimed ignorance of Obi's academic credentials, highlighting Obi's extensive political history, including his governorship and presidential candidacies.
