Nicki Minaj follows Peter Obi on X after reposting security statement

American rapper Nicki Minaj has followed Nigerian presidential candidate Peter Obi on the social media platform X. This move occurred after Minaj reposted a statement from the former Anambra State governor regarding the security situation in Niger State.

In his statement, Obi condemned recent reports of killings and abductions in Niger State, describing the violence as a “systematic devaluation of human life.” He called for improved intelligence-led operations and better coordination among security agencies to combat criminal networks. Minaj’s decision to follow Obi has drawn significant attention on social media, as he is currently the only 2027 Nigerian presidential candidate she follows. While the action has been praised by some for amplifying concerns over national security, others have cautioned the artist against involvement in Nigerian political affairs.
