A recently shared video on the official X (formerly Twitter) account of Channels Television has stirred political discussions nationwide.
The footage captures former presidential candidate, Peter Ameh, analyzing the political strength of Peter Obi ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
In the video, Peter Ameh took a swipe at the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), claiming the party is in a state of panic.
He suggested that the APC’s search for endorsements is driven by a fear of Peter Obi’s rising popularity and influence.
“You contested with a man who had no structure and in the South, he got 44.5%, BAT got 35.5%,” Peter Ameh remarked, referencing the 2023 general election where Obi, under the Labour Party, outperformed Bola Ahmed Tinubu (popularly known as BAT) in the southern region despite lacking a strong political structure.
Peter Ameh emphasized that Obi’s performance in the last election proved that political structures are no longer the only deciding factor in Nigerian elections. “In the last election, the former governor of Anambra state had no structure yet he defeated Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the entire South,” he stated.
He further argued that Obi’s message of transparency, accountability, and reform resonated deeply with many Nigerians, especially young voters, and this momentum is likely to grow stronger ahead of 2027.
The statement has sparked reactions across social media, with many users agreeing that Obi’s unexpected 2023 showing marked a shift in Nigeria’s political dynamics.
As preparations for the 2027 elections begin to take shape, Ameh’s remarks highlight the growing concern within established political parties about a potential upset from non-traditional candidates like Obi.
