Actor Yul Edochie has stated that former presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi, cannot be president of Nigeria now.
In a statement posted on X, Edochie argued that any political party Obi joins will scatter.
Speaking ahead of the 2027 general elections, Edochie said Obi’s engagement with the African Democratic Congress was dead on arrival and a total waste of time.
Edochie, a known supporter of President Bola Tinubu, said the issue is not physical but deeper. He added that he was surprised Obi does not know this or chooses to ignore it.

Edochie, a known supporter of President Bola Tinubu, said the issue is not physical but deeper. He added that he was surprised Obi does not know this or chooses to ignore it.
He said, “Any political party Peter Obi joins will scatter. Whatever he’s doing with ADC is dead on arrival. A total waste of time. It’s not a physical problem. It’s deeper than that. I’m surprised he doesn’t know this already. Or maybe he knows but chooses to ignore it. But the truth remains the truth. Peter Obi cannot be President of Nigeria now”.
Edochie, who contested the Anambra governorship election in 2017 on the Democratic Peoples Congress platform, has remained vocal on politics discourse.
Obi was the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in 2023 and has been linked to consultations with other parties, including the ADC, ahead of future polls.
