…Says People Have Rejected “Fraudulent Movement”
By Olasunkanmi Akoni
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has described the outcome of the Anambra State governorship election—where Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, reportedly lost his polling unit to the APC—as a clear rejection of the “Obidient movement.”
APC Lagos spokesperson, Seye Oladejo, in a statement on Sunday, said the development represents the loudest confirmation yet that the movement is “a political hologram—bright on social media, empty in real life.”
According to Oladejo, Obi’s defeat in his own community amounts to “public humiliation,” adding that his neighbours and supposed stronghold have delivered an unmistakable verdict.
He stated:
“The people who know Peter Obi best—his neighbours, his own community, his supposed natural base—have delivered an unmistakable judgment: ‘We reject you. We don’t trust you. We have seen through you.’”
Oladejo accused Obi of building “a brand on self-righteous monologues, manufactured statistics, emotional manipulation, and an aura of victimhood,” claiming he misled young Nigerians while lacking the political capacity to win even at the grassroots.
“A man who cannot win his polling unit has no business dreaming of winning a country,” he said. “A man who is rejected on his street cannot claim nationwide acceptance.”
He argued that the Anambra poll result signals “the complete disintegration of the myth around Peter Obi.”
Oladejo further mocked the former Anambra governor, saying: “We hope Mr. Obi will not run abroad seeking foreign intervention to rescue him from this political free fall, as he has attempted in recent times.”
He contrasted Obi with President Bola Tinubu, whom he credited with “rebuilding institutions, fixing the economy, expanding infrastructure, attracting foreign investments, and restoring global confidence,” while accusing Obi of “seeking international validation and hiding behind hashtags that collapse at the ballot box.”
Describing the APC’s victory in Obi’s polling unit as “symbolic, conclusive, and prophetic,” Oladejo said the result mirrors the national mood, where “performance is triumphing over propaganda; structure is defeating chaos; and delivery is destroying deception.”
