Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has stirred controversy after claiming that former presidential candidate Peter Obi has not achieved anything politically, triggering widespread reactions online. The statement was made in a recent social media post, as reported by Kemi Filani.
According to the report, Yul Edochie questioned Peter Obi’s political relevance, suggesting that his recent political moves lack impact and direction.
“Any political party Peter Obi joins will scatter… It’s a total waste of time,” he said.
Speaking further, the actor insisted that Obi’s political ambitions, especially ahead of the 2027 elections, may not yield results.
“Peter Obi cannot be President of Nigeria now,” he added.
The comment comes amid reports linking Obi to coalition talks and possible alignment with the African Democratic Congress (ADC), as opposition figures prepare for future elections.
Peter Obi, who was the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, gained strong support from young Nigerians and urban voters. However, recent political realignments have sparked debates about his next move.
Meanwhile, Yul Edochie, a known supporter of President Bola Tinubu, has consistently shared strong political opinions, often drawing mixed reactions across social media.
Any political party Peter Obi joins will scatter.

Whatever he’s doing with ADC is dead on arrival.
A total waste of time.
It’s not a physical problem.
It’s deeper than that.
I’m surprised he doesn’t know this already.
Or maybe he knows but chooses to ignore it.
But the truth…
Peter Obi’s Presidential ambition is tied to APGA.

The party he swore he will never leave.
Peter swore before Ojukwu and Ndi Anambra that he will never leave APGA.
He said he will die with APGA.
He said if he leaves APGA may he never achieve anything politically.
He later left…
