Aisha Yesufu backs Obi campaign creators amid Nigerians' anger
Aisha Yesufu said on X that some Nigerians are angry that Peter Obi and his campaign’s content creators are showcasing his workings ahead of the 2027 presidential election, preferring he stay silent as he did while governor of Anambra State. She praised the creators for travelling with Obi to document his activities, writing, "May God bless all the ‘content creators’ putting in the work and travelling with our principal, Mr Peter Obi… to document and show all the workings he does."
Yesufu noted that critics claim the material looks too polished to be genuine, saying, "Many are angered that they cannot say it is AI." The exchange highlights a growing tension between voter expectations of modesty and the reality of modern political campaigning, where digital content plays a central role in shaping public perception.
For Nigerians evaluating candidates, the episode raises questions about how much visibility is appropriate: Does openly sharing achievements build trust or appear self‑promotional? Should supporters rely on organic grassroots messaging or professional media teams? As the 2027 race intensifies, observers may want to assess whether a candidate’s media strategy aligns with their own standards of transparency and accountability.
