During an interview that aired on Symfoni TV on Sunday, June 21, 2026, Afam Ogene, a member of the House of Representatives representing Ogbaru Federal Constituency in Anambra State, reflected on the political events that transpired after Peter Obi left the PDP and became the Labour Party’s presidential candidate for the 2023 election.
Ogene stated on the show that many long-time politicians and political watchers failed to anticipate the extent to which the public would rally around Obi following his departure from the PDP. He claims that many political figures at first dismissed Obi’s campaign as a social media fad that wouldn’t amount to anything in the way of tangible electoral impact.
According to the congressman, Obi’s popularity went much beyond online platforms as seen in the events preceding the 2023 presidential election. He pointed out that the message being shared by Obi and the Labour Party resonated with millions of Nigerians from all over the nation, leading to a political movement that garnered a lot of attention and had a lot of people involved.
