Peter Obi Confronts EFCC Probe and Party Rift Ahead of 2027 Vote

Presidential candidate Peter Obi urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to stop allocating resources to the harassment of his supporters Randy Peter and "Mama P," calling for the agency to focus on high‑profile corruption cases. The Obidient movement accused the EFCC of using a naira‑abuse investigation to intimidate Obi’s backers, alleging selective enforcement and political motivation.

Supporter Isaac Fayose publicly complained that Obi never thanked him for his campaign contributions, threatened to back rival Bola Tinubu, but later reaffirmed his loyalty, stating he remains "100% Obidient" after meeting Tinubu’s son Seyi. NDC chieftain Buba Galadima highlighted challenges with the Obi‑Kwankwaso presidential ticket, noting the difficulties are not insurmountable.

These statements reflect growing tension within Nigeria’s opposition ahead of the 2027 general elections, involving allegations of misuse of anti‑corruption authority and internal disputes over political loyalty.
