A man believed to be affiliated with the All Progressives Congress (APC) has sparked reactions online after a viral video showed him eagerly trying to take a selfie with Peter Obi, despite wearing a cap associated with Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The incident occurred in Lagos, where Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, was attending a public event. The atmosphere quickly turned electric as supporters surged forward, chanting slogans and jostling for a chance to capture moments with the former Anambra State governor.
Amid the excitement, the APC-leaning attendee—identified by his Tinubu-style cap—was seen enthusiastically greeting Obi and attempting to snap a selfie, drawing widespread attention and mixed reactions on social media.
Supporters in the crowd could be heard chanting, “My President, Peter Obi is here—everywhere stew,” underscoring Obi’s continued popularity among his base.
Obi, who contested and lost the 2023 presidential election to Tinubu, is reportedly positioning himself for another run in 2027. This time, he is expected to contest under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), where competition for the party’s presidential ticket is already heating up.
Despite the presence of other notable opposition figures within the ADC, political observers suggest Obi remains a strong contender for the party’s flagbearer position.
