In a video circulating on X on Thursday, April 9, Obi was captured exercising to keep fit. The development comes shortly after he joined other opposition figures at the “Save Nigeria Democracy” protest held on Wednesday, April 8.
The protest, which drew influential ADC members and allies, was staged in the nation’s capital to express concerns over recent developments involving the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Prominent political figures present at the demonstration included former vice president Atiku Abubakar, former governors Rotimi Amaechi, Rabiu Kwankwaso, and Rauf Aregbesola, as well as former Senate president David Mark, who is also the embattled national chairman of the ADC.
According to reports, the protesters initially converged at the Maitama Roundabout before moving toward the headquarters of INEC.
The protest follows a recent decision by INEC to derecognise the ADC leadership based on a Court of Appeal judgment. Opposition leaders have alleged that the move was influenced by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), a claim yet to be officially addressed by the commission.
The ADC and its allies have accused INEC of undermining Nigeria’s democracy, insisting that the electoral body must remain independent in its actions.
Nigerians react to viral video
Meanwhile, Obi’s post-protest gym appearance has drawn attention online, with Nigerians reacting to the video circulating on social media.

Pastor predicts ticket that could fail against Tinubu
Pastor Kingsley Okwuwe of the Revival and Restoration Global Mission has warned that a potential presidential ticket pairing Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso may not succeed in unseating President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 elections.
Leggit.ng had reported that the cleric shared this prophecy on his official YouTube channel, as he cited spiritual incompatibility between the two opposition figures.
