If this report is true, then it is deeply disturbing and should concern every Nigerian, regardless of political party.
Politics is supposed to be about ideas, policies, competence and service to the people—not intimidation, bitterness, vindictiveness or the deliberate attempt to silence political opponents.
Look at mature democracies in the Western world. Political parties compete fiercely, politicians attack each other’s policies, supporters disagree passionately, and elections can be extremely competitive. But there are established rules governing political advertising and campaigning, and those rules are not supposed to change simply because one party is in power. The government is expected to protect the political space for everyone, not turn the machinery of government into a weapon against opponents.
Nigeria cannot continue to demand the respect of the international community while practising politics that sometimes looks like “winner takes all.” If an opposition billboard violates an actual law, planning regulation, advertising requirement or legitimate government policy, then remove it based on that clearly stated rule—and apply the same rule to APC, NDC, PDP, Labour, NDC and every other political party equally.
But if opposition billboards are being selectively removed simply because they belong to an opposition party, then that is not democracy—it is political intimidation.
And let us be clear: today it may be your opponent; tomorrow it could be you.
I strongly believe that politics should never be played with bitterness. You can disagree with Peter Obi, Tinubu, Atiku or any other politician without treating their supporters as enemies. Political opponents are still Nigerians. They are our brothers, sisters, friends, colleagues and neighbours.
What Nigeria needs is healthy political competition, not political persecution; strong arguments, not intimidation; accountability, not vendetta.
If APC believes it has performed well, let the people decide at the ballot box. Put your achievements before Nigerians, defend your record, campaign vigorously and win the argument.
You don’t defeat an opposition by tearing down its billboards. You defeat an opposition by giving citizens a better reason to vote for you.
Nigeria belongs to all of us—not to APC, PDP, Labour or any individual politician.
2027 should be a contest of ideas, records and vision—not a battlefield of bitterness. 🇳🇬
Otunba Biodun Ajiboye, I watched your appearance on Seun Okinbaloye’s podcast, and honestly, what I heard was less of a serious political analysis and more of a desperate attempt to discredit Peter Obi ahead of 2027.
You said Peter Obi is a “failure,” that he is a “liar,” and challenged Nigerians to name one intelligent thing he has ever said. Those are very serious accusations, but where are the facts? Where are the figures? Where is the evidence? Calling a political opponent a liar does not make the allegation true, and shouting down his record does not erase the record.
Peter Obi governed Anambra State for eight years. You may disagree with his policies, you may oppose his political ambition, and you may support Tinubu—that is your democratic right. But intellectual honesty requires you to debate his record with facts rather than insults.
And let us address the elephant in the room: you are not an independent political commentator sitting outside the system. You are an APC chieftain and a government appointee. Your political loyalty to the Tinubu administration is well known. Therefore, Nigerians have every right to question whether what you are presenting is objective analysis or political advocacy. Your position makes it even more important for you to demonstrate integrity, balance and evidence when attacking an opposition candidate.
If you truly believe Peter Obi was a failure as governor, bring the audited figures. Compare Anambra before Obi with Anambra after Obi. Compare the state’s finances, infrastructure, education, healthcare, debt profile and investments. Tell Nigerians exactly where he failed and substantiate it.
But don’t sit on a national platform and simply declare, “He was a failure, and he’s a liar,” as though your personal political opinion is a court judgment.
And this is where your argument becomes particularly disappointing: you appear far more interested in attacking Peter Obi than interrogating the government you support.
Where is this same ferocious energy when Nigerians are struggling with the cost of living? Where is the same outrage over food prices, unemployment, insecurity, the naira’s purchasing power and the hardship ordinary Nigerians are facing?
If you are going to defend Tinubu, defend him with facts. If you are going to attack Obi, attack his policies with facts. But don’t turn political appointment and access to government into a licence to insult an opponent.
Nigerians are becoming much more politically conscious. They can distinguish between genuine criticism and political propaganda.
And let me be very clear: supporting Tinubu is your right. Benefiting from a government is also something you should be prepared to defend transparently. But if your argument for supporting Tinubu is simply that everything Tinubu does is right while everything Peter Obi does is wrong, then that is not political objectivity—it is political loyalty.
Your appointment does not make you the owner of the truth.
Peter Obi is not above criticism, and neither is Bola Tinubu. That is the standard we should apply to EVERY politician.
So, Mr. Ajiboye, Nigerians are not asking you to like Peter Obi. We are asking you to bring evidence, not insults; records, not propaganda; facts, not political theatre.
Because if Peter Obi is truly as incompetent, unintelligent and dishonest as you claim, proving it with verifiable facts should be the easiest thing in the world.
Stop shouting. Show us the evidence.
That is what integrity in public discourse looks like.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but opinions should be backed by facts. Peter Obi is widely regarded by many Nigerians as one of the best governors Anambra State has ever had. His administration was known for prudent management of public funds, investments in education, healthcare, infrastructure, and for leaving substantial savings and low debt at the end of his tenure.
Supporting any government should never be about party loyalty or personalities—it should be about accountability, competence, and the welfare of the people. Defending poor governance, regardless of who is in power, only encourages more suffering for this generation and those yet unborn. Nigeria deserves leaders who put the people first, not leaders whose policies deepen hardship.
Let’s debate with facts, not insults, because the future of our nation depends on the choices we make today.
