PDP chieftain Segun Sowunmi has called on Peter Obi to stop portraying Nigeria negatively, especially when speaking at international events.

Sowunmi reacted to Obi’s recent post on X, where the former Labour Party presidential candidate compared Nigeria’s economic progress with that of China, Indonesia, and Vietnam during a visit to Johns Hopkins University in the United States.

Obi had pointed out that in 1990, when the Human Development Index (HDI) began, Nigeria, China, Vietnam, and Indonesia were all placed in the medium category. He noted that while the three other countries have moved up to the high category by 2025, Nigeria has dropped to the low category.

However, Sowunmi disagreed with Obi’s assessment, arguing that the comparison was unfair and incomplete.

Posting on X, Sowunmi said, “With all due respect @PeterObi, these measurements are faulty. They are extremely biased because those who create these figures do not know how to measure Nigeria’s informal sector.

“You need to stop this, especially at international forums. Instead, you should be holding them accountable for the harmful neoliberal policies and hidden pressures that have held Africa back.

“No one who hopes to lead Nigeria should be the loudest voice tearing it down. You must stop this immediately,” he said.

Media personality Dele Momodu reacts and shares his thoughts regarding First Lady Remi Tinubu interrupting the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, during a recent event.

The event was the 10th coronation anniversary of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi. In the scene, while Governor Adeleke was giving a speech, he began with a worship song. But while singing, the First Lady stood up and met him to inform him to stop singing and go directly to his speech instead.

Media personality Dele then reacted and questioned why she would do something like that, asking if she would have done the same kind of interruption if it were the recitation of the Qur’an.

She revealed this as she marked a new age, reflecting on what the future holds. She emphasized that she holds no grudge against anyone.

“I do not have anything against anyone. The question is how I stopped feeling the betrayal? I knew the grace factor was evident, and the Holy Spirit continually comforted me. I chose never to avenge myself, understanding that it is God’s prerogative. Mine is to thank Him for fighting for us. If God decides to fight your battles and you have won, is there anything else that God missed and you wanted to fix? Nothing. So, let it go.”

Paul Ibe, spokesperson to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of laying the groundwork to manipulate the 2027 general elections.

Speaking during a YouTube interview, Ibe alleged that the ruling party, led by President Bola Tinubu, has run out of achievements to show after more than two years in office. This has resorted to silencing opposition voices and critical institutions.

According to him, APC is working to weaken independent media, civil society groups, and political opponents. They insists that the clampdown is part of a wider strategy to retain power.

“They have nothing to offer after two years of holding on to the mandate,” Ibe said. “The only way left for them is to start preparing to rig, and the process is already in motion.”

Additionally, he went on to describe Nigeria’s current political climate as a drift into dictatorship, recalling the heavy price paid by activists who fought for democracy in the past.

“The democracy we’ve had since 1999 came at a huge sacrifice. Many lives were lost in the struggle,” he said. “Those heroes would be turning in their graves to see what is happening now. People like Sowore are being harassed and intimidated, and that shows where we are heading.”
