Peter Obi Congratulates Donald Trump and Calls for Honest Elections in Nigeria
Peter Obi, the Nigerian political figure and presidential candidate, extended congratulations to former U.S. President Donald Trump on what he described as Trump’s “successful return” as the 47th President of the United States.
Obi shared his optimism for Trump’s win, expressing that it could be a beacon of democracy on a global scale, especially in challenging times.
He conveyed his message through his official handle on X (formerly Twitter), offering praise for Trump’s accomplishment, which he feels could bring fresh momentum to the ideals of democracy and global peace.
Obi’s message wasn’t limited to Trump alone.
He also applauded Vice President Kamala Harris for her resilience and determination throughout the election journey.
Acknowledging Harris’s dedication, he commended her courage and strength, qualities that resonated with many across the U.S. and beyond, adding that although she didn’t emerge victorious, her impact was undeniable.
Reflecting on the conduct of the recent U.S. elections, Obi held it up as a model for democratic processes worldwide.
He noted the transparent and peaceful nature of the election, especially the swift release of results and the smooth transmission of data.
In his post, Obi made a passionate call for Nigeria to take inspiration from the United States and abandon practices that have long plagued its own elections.
He highlighted issues such as electoral malpractice, vote-buying, election violence, and network disruptions, all of which have cast shadows over Nigeria’s democratic process in the past.
Obi stressed that genuine democracy relies on the people’s will, as expressed freely and transparently through the ballots.
He urged Nigerians to rally together in pursuit of a more credible electoral system, one that truly reflects the desires and choices of the people.
Acknowledging the need for reforms, he reminded Nigerians that the journey toward a transparent and robust democracy is ongoing, emphasizing his belief in the possibility of a “New Nigeria.”
Spiritual leader Primate Elijah Ayodele warns the APC against being too confident ahead of the 2027 election.
He shared “Overconfidence will kill APC; they will be too overconfident, and that will be the party’s weakness in the election. They will turn Tinubu to a demi-god, but it will make them lose the election. They believe money can do everything, but it will fail in the 2027 election,” Ayodele said.
Ayodele has repeatedly warned the APC not to assume that its current political strength will automatically translate into victory in 2027.
Politician Atiku Abubakar claims that President Bola Tinubu is 90 and says he can prove it.
He shared in a recent interview that he has evidence and can prove it, while also stating that he can serve Nigeria better and sharing how he has the qualities to be Nigeria’s leader.
“You have a President who is 90 years old now and sick and I am healthy and strong. So why won’t I make myself available to serve my country?”
“You went and voted for someone who is 80, I mean 90 years old. How old is President Bola, 90?”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose speaks on the upcoming election and shares that it has basically started now with who the people support.
While backing Peter Obi, he shared “2027 election campaign has officially kicked off. I’m happy because it’s time to take our country back. Recall that President Tinubu once told us that if he doesn’t provide electricity, we should not vote for him. APC is a failed government. Let’s start a door-to-door campaign for Mr Peter Obi. The (OK) ticket is all we want.”
He urged Nigerians to start showing their support and vote.
