Former Kaduna Central senator Shehu Sani has criticised Peter Obi, described as the Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate, for attending the inauguration of the campaign office of Seyi Makinde, the Allied Peoples Movement candidate, ahead of the 2027 elections. In a post on his X handle on Tuesday, Sani likened Obi's move to someone selling Pepsi while promoting Coke, suggesting the gesture was politically contradictory. The comments were reported by the Daily Post.

Nigerian actor and politician Kenneth Okonkwo has drawn reactions after commenting on potential candidates ahead of the 2027 presidential election. In a recent interview, Okonkwo was asked to assess President Bola Tinubu, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi. According to Information Nigeria, Okonkwo described Obi as "more of a content creator than a contender," remarks that have sparked fresh debate among supporters and observers of Nigerian politics.

Datti Baba-Ahmed, Peter Obi's running mate in Nigeria's 2023 presidential election, said Obi moved out of his political comfort zone against his advice ahead of the 2027 election. According to Information Nigeria, Baba-Ahmed made the remarks during an interview on the MIC ON Podcast while responding to a question about what had changed in his perception of Obi.

Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, has criticised Peter Obi, described by Naija News as the Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate, calling him a 'content creator' after Obi attended the launch of Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde's campaign office. The remarks, reported by Naija News, form part of the presidency's attack on the opposition figure's political activities.

Peter Obi, described as the Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate for the 2027 election, said his record as former Anambra state governor shows he can improve Nigeria if elected president. According to Information Nigeria, his remarks responded to comments by his former running mate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, regarding politicians challenging President Bola Tinubu.

Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress ahead of next year's election, has said that Datti Baba-Ahmed remains his brother and ally despite their political differences. According to Information Nigeria, Obi's remarks followed comments by the former Labour Party vice-presidential candidate suggesting that none of the major opposition figures seeking to unseat President Bola Tinubu have the capacity to improve Nigeria.
