Social commentator and human rights activist, Segun Awosanya, popularly known as Segalink, has said the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, lacks the qualities required to lead Nigeria, arguing that his politics is divisive and driven by what he described as an online “mob.”
Awosanya made the remarks during an interview on Vanguard’s Politics Hub, where he spoke on the state of the nation, the 2027 general election and Obi’s presidential ambition.
Describing the former Anambra State governor, Segalink said Obi had built his political appeal around public anger rather than national leadership.
“It is obvious to the blind and audible to the deaf, that somebody who is playing to the gallery, who postures as one thing and is actually another should be revealed for who they are,” he said.
“As far as I’m concerned, Peter Obi is just a leader of the mob, somebody who is surfing the wave of the angry people… to demonize people and blackmail people in order to gain attention to themselves, and then bully themselves into political power.”
