AnambraDecides2025: The Collapse Of A Political Mirage — Lagos APC To Peter Obi: “Even Your Polling Unit Has Rejected The ‘Movement’”

In what many describe as a political earthquake, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State has reacted with undisguised satisfaction to the stunning result from Anambra — Peter Obi’s own polling unit falling to the APC.

For a man who once sold himself as the embodiment of a “new Nigeria,” the symbolism could not be more brutal. This was not just an electoral loss; it was a personal repudiation — a thunderous rejection from the very people who know him best.

“Even his own community has seen through the illusion,” the Lagos APC declared in a sharp statement signed by its Publicity Secretary, Hon. Seye Oladejo. “What happened in Anambra is the loudest confirmation yet that the so-called ‘Obidient Movement’ exists only on social media — bright, noisy, but hollow.”

For years, Peter Obi cultivated an image of incorruptibility and modesty, building a fervent online following that mistook rhetoric for revolution. But the latest result, party insiders say, has torn off the mask.

“A man who cannot win his polling unit has no business aspiring to win a country,” the statement continued.
“A man rejected on his street cannot claim nationwide acceptance.”

According to the Lagos APC, the outcome in Anambra signals the total collapse of the myth that Obi commands a genuine grassroots movement. The party suggests that his politics — powered by statistics, sanctimony, and social media activism — has now met the immovable wall of reality.

While President Bola Ahmed Tinubu consolidates his reform agenda — rebuilding institutions, revitalizing the economy, expanding infrastructure, and restoring Nigeria’s global credibility — Obi, the APC claims, has remained trapped in the politics of noise: “contradictory interviews, emotional appeals, and endless hashtags that vanish at the ballot box.”

The Lagos APC went further to warn against Obi’s familiar recourse to international sympathy whenever local politics goes sour. “Nigeria’s democracy,” it said, “is not a playground for sore losers seeking validation abroad after rejection at home.”

The party framed its victory in Obi’s polling unit as “symbolic, conclusive, and prophetic” — a sign that performance is triumphing over propaganda, and delivery is defeating deception.

“Reality has caught up with him,” Oladejo concluded.
“Before talking about repairing Nigeria, Peter Obi must first repair the political damage in his own backyard.”

If the Anambra polls were a test of political authenticity, Peter Obi may have just failed in the most personal way possible — at his own doorstep.
