ANAMBRA GOVT THREATENED BY PETER OBI’S POPULARITY – NDC

October 5, 2026 • Dons Eze • 2 min read

The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Director of New Media and Strategic Communications, Theo Abu Agada on Monday insisted that the Anambra State Government is threatened by the growing popularity of the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

Agada said the NDC would win big in Anambra State and that there is nothing Governor Chukwuma Soludo and his All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) can do about it.

He was reacting to a post on X by @AnambraNewMedia, which said a vote for Obi would be a betrayal of the state.

The post reads: “A betrayal alert for Ndi Anambra. Do not be deceived by a man who abandoned his own house.

“Ndi APGA, defend your home. Resist the NDC. A vote for Peter Obi and NDC is a vote to kill APGA. Since 2014, Obi has had one mission: to destroy the party that made him.”

Reacting, Agada accused the state government of resorting to cheap blackmail because it could not challenge Obi on his governance record.

He wrote: “It is now clear, even to the blind, that the Anambra State Government is threatened by the growing popularity of our presidential candidate, H.E. Peter Obi, and the NDC in Anambra State and beyond.

“I understand this mad obsession. The NDC is going to win big in Anambra, and there is nothing Soludo and his minions in APGA can do about it.

“Since they cannot challenge H.E. Peter Obi on his governance record, they have resorted to cheap blackmail.”
