A Nigerian man has stirred conversation online with his strong take on former Anambra State governor and Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
According to him, Obi’s greatest political misstep was his failure to invest in the media during his time in office. He believes this oversight is the reason many people today speak negatively or ignorantly about the work Obi did as governor.
He argued that public perception in politics is heavily influenced by media visibility, and that by not prioritizing media relations, Obi allowed critics and opponents to shape the narrative about his administration.
The remark has sparked a flurry of reactions, with some agreeing that strategic media investment is essential in Nigerian politics, while others insist Obi’s track record speaks for itself, regardless of media backing.
The conversation highlights a growing awareness of how much media power can make or break political legacies in Nigeria’s evolving democracy.
