Sowunmi Accuses Peter Obi of Creating Political Hostility

Segun Sowunmi, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, accused Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), of creating animosity between his supporters and notable Nigerians. During an interview on Vanguard’s Politics Hub, Sowunmi claimed that Obi's supporters had begun to attack public figures who held differing opinions, including Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka and former presidential aide Doyin Okupe.

He expressed alarm over the conduct of some members of the Obidient movement, arguing that their approach to political disagreements had alienated influential figures in Nigeria. Sowunmi cautioned against the rising influence of Obi's political agenda, asserting that political differences should not lead to further division in the country.

He stated, “The problem with the Igbo agenda Peter Obi is running is that he has made his Obidients to become enemy of everybody,” emphasizing the need for negotiation in political power dynamics.
