AWKA, ANAMBRA STATE – Anambra-born social media content creator and political commentator Waga G has issued a stern warning to individuals allegedly recruited to disrupt Peter Obi’s planned campaign activities in Anambra State.
Waga G delivered the warning in a video circulating across social media platforms on Thursday, addressing reports and rumours that certain individuals were allegedly being mobilised to disrupt the former Anambra State governor’s planned political visit to his home state.
In the video, the content creator cautioned those allegedly paid to attack or disrupt Obi’s campaign activities, using strong language to warn them about the potential consequences of getting involved.
Waga G reportedly told those considering participating in the alleged plot to leave their banking details with their families, describing the situation as a possible “journey of no return.”
He further stressed that Anambra residents would not tolerate any form of disrespect towards Peter Obi, while urging young people in the state not to allow themselves to be used as instruments of political violence.
Rising Political Tensions Ahead of 2027 Elections
The warning comes amid growing political tension in Anambra State as political activities gradually intensify ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Political disagreements have reportedly emerged between supporters of Peter Obi, who is associated with the National Democratic Congress (NDC), and supporters of Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
Some of the disagreements have centred on billboard permit fees, competing narratives about Obi’s record as a former governor, and public exchanges between supporters of the different political camps.
Despite the political disagreements, Obi’s recent visits have reportedly attracted significant public attention and large crowds of supporters.
INEC Warns Against Political Violence
Meanwhile, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has reportedly called on political stakeholders to exercise restraint and avoid actions capable of undermining peaceful political participation.
Resident Electoral Commissioner Dr. Queen Elizabeth Agwu cautioned political actors and stakeholders in Awka against personal attacks, inflammatory statements and violence.
She also stressed that violations of electoral laws would attract legal consequences, including prosecution.
As political activities gather momentum ahead of 2027, concerns over intimidation, inflammatory political statements and possible disruptions continue to raise questions about the safety of political gatherings.
Waga G’s warning has added another dimension to the ongoing political conversations in Anambra, with attention now focused on ensuring that Peter Obi’s planned campaign activities proceed peacefully.
The key question remains whether political stakeholders and their supporters can put aside their differences and allow democratic participation without intimidation or violence.
