Reactions to Obi's convoy incident
The incident, which was captured on video and shared on X (formerly Twitter) by @ikangbo_gabriel, showed the man lying beneath the vehicle while loudly voicing his support for Obi, who has been ratified as the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) for the 2027 elections.
The footage drew significant attention online because of the sheer boldness of the act, with many users sharing and commenting on the clip within hours of it being posted.
The video did not go without scrutiny.
@Mikkyjay74 raised concerns about the security implications of the scene, writing:
"This most be a comic content creating for the ops. How could a stranger had an easy access to a VIP car underbelly, this a serious security breach. Those who acted and directed the script were very poor actors. They were all endagering the man life."
@abbapius turned attention to Obi's political judgment, saying:
"The main problem is the fact that Mr. Obi do not understand and appreciate how he got the votes he got in the last election. He feels it was because of nonsense he has been doing. His eyes will clear after the next election."
Not all reactions were critical.
@tayoadebayo_m said the display had actually won them over:
"Awww because of this, i will vote for Obi. It is a good manifesto."
Others were less earnest.
@Psalmjay4748 quipped:
"This people should add streaming to their content, so that we can be double tapping and send rose." @adesanyagboye was dismissive, writing: "He will still lose the election. Hin don play airport film, this is season 2."
