Wike's Aide Critiques Viral Video Supporting Obi's Campaign

Lere Olayinka, an aide to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, responded to a viral video featuring Peter Akah, known as Peter for Nigeria, and Precious Oruche, also known as Mama Pee. The video showed the two supporters of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate dancing and making statements about the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the police, declaring, “INEC must obey Jesus Christ,” “Police must obey Jesus Christ,” and “Tinubu must obey Jesus Christ.” Olayinka commented on the video via his X account, suggesting that it exemplified the nature of the campaign being conducted for Obi’s presidential ambition.

He humorously remarked, “Na like that dem dey campaign for Pitobi inside bedroom.” The video has elicited various reactions online, with some questioning the effectiveness of Obi's campaign and noting the absence of prominent voices that could bolster his political movement, as social media personalities increasingly dominate discussions around his 2027 presidential ambition.
