Political Earthquake: “Peter Obi Is Not Sellable In The North,” Declares Yusuf!.
Professor Usman Yusuf, the former Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme, has publicly asserted that Peter Obi, the 2027 presidential candidate for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), lacks political viability in Northern Nigeria. In an interview with DCL English, Yusuf emphasized that Obi will face intense scrutiny from northern voters regarding his past actions and positions.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Yusuf identified the primary competitors for the 2027 race as President Bola Tinubu (APC), Atiku Abubakar (ADC), and Peter Obi (NDC). According to Yusuf, Obi must personally address several concerns to gain acceptance in the North, specifically noting that his supporters cannot speak for him on these issues:
-
Political Accountability: Voters intend to heavily examine Obi’s record during his time as Governor of Anambra State.
-
IPOB Associations: Yusuf plans to interrogate Obi’s refusal to distance himself from the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), which the government has labeled a terrorist organization.
-
Stance on Nnamdi Kanu: Obi will face questioning over his public defense of the IPOB leader, specifically his claims that Kanu is innocent and should not have been detained.
-
Campaign Rhetoric: Yusuf alleged that Obi’s 2023 campaign was overly focused on Christian and Igbo-centric interests, which he argues makes it difficult for Northern Muslim voters to support him.
Yusuf concluded that for Obi to be competitive, he must engage directly with the Northern electorate and overcome these significant hurdles regarding his political history and platform.

‘This Is Good News Peter Obi, Atiku Don’t Want To Hear’ – Presidency Hails Nigeria’s Surging Foreign Reserves.
The Presidency has accused key opposition figures, including former 2023 presidential candidates Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, of intentionally ignoring positive economic news under the Bola Tinubu administration.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to the President, stated in a post on X (formerly Twitter) this past Saturday that Nigeria’s foreign reserves have surged to $51.04 billion as of June 18. According to Onanuga, this represents the highest level in 17 years, surpassing the $50.5 billion recorded in January 2009.
Onanuga claimed that opposition candidates and parties are reluctant to acknowledge this development, preferring to maintain the narrative that President Tinubu has achieved nothing since taking office. He argued that “stubborn facts of the administration’s solid achievements” continue to contradict the opposition’s stance.
In unrelated political commentary, Professor Usman Yusuf, the former Executive Secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme, asserted during an interview with DCL English that Peter Obi is “not sellable in the North.“
Professor Yusuf argued that Obi cannot effectively penetrate the region and would face intense scrutiny from northern voters regarding his tenure as governor of Anambra State and his stance on the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). Looking ahead to the 2027 electoral landscape, Yusuf identified the major contenders as President Tinubu of the APC, Atiku Abubakar (whom he associated with the ADC), and Obi.

The Tide Is Turning? Sam Amadi Predicts That Political Attacks On Obi Will Fail Spectacularly!.
Sam Amadi, the Director of the Abuja School of Social and Thought Politics, has stated that efforts to undermine the popularity of Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate Peter Obi have been unsuccessful due to the lack of credible evidence regarding corruption or scandals.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Amadi shared these sentiments in a post on X this past Saturday, which served as a response to an ongoing debate involving politician Kenneth Okonkwo and his comments regarding Obi and his supporters. Key aspects of Amadi’s perspective include:
-
Obi’s political appeal remains robust because his critics have failed to produce factual evidence that could harm his reputation.
-
Amadi noted that Obi’s political standing has not been diminished, as his detractors rely on “elitist derision” rather than actual revelations of misconduct.
-
He claimed that Obi possesses a clean record that other current presidential candidates cannot match, ultimately describing Obi as the “best available” candidate on the presidential slate.
-
Amadi argued that Obi’s history of public service has served as a shield against political attacks, further asserting that he remains the most formidable option among the current group of presidential hopefuls.
