The political temperature across the South-East has reached a boiling point ahead of the 2027 general elections, as the Anambra State Government officially issued a stern warning urging voters to resist former Governor Peter Obi.
In an official public post released by the Office of New Media to Governor Chukwuma Soludo, the state government branded Obi’s political trajectory as a systematic attempt to dismantle the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA)—the very platform that catapulted him to national political prominence.
Tagging the official alert as a “betrayal warning” for APGA loyalists, the statement accused the former presidential candidate of turning his back on the party since 2014. The government claimed that while other national figures stood by regional political identity, Obi backed opposing political movements to weaken APGA’s structural foundation in the South-East.
“Do not be deceived by a man who abandoned his own house,” the graphic warning read, urging Anambra voters and APGA supporters across the nation to defend their home structure and reject opposition overtures ahead of the 2027 ballot.
The scathing attack comes amidst escalating friction between Governor Soludo’s administration and Peter Obi over legacy state projects, financial liabilities, and regional political leadership ahead of the next electoral cycle. Opposition media strategists quickly hit back, claiming the state government’s campaign reflects deep anxiety over Obi’s rising grassroots popularity.
With regional supremacy, political heritage, and 2027 electoral math on the line, the battle for the heart and soul of Anambra politics is officially underway.
