Some People Said, ‘Katch, You’re Crazy, You’re Leading Peter Obi Into A Blind Alley’–Ononuju

In a recent interview on Symfoni TV on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, public affairs analyst and Director-General of the Heritage Centre, Dr. Katch Ononuju reflected on the early days of the political movement that supported Peter Obi’s presidential ambition and the criticism he received for his role.

Speaking during the programme, Ononuju said, “Some people said, ‘Katch, you are crazy. You are leading Peter Obi into a blind alley.'” He explained that many people doubted the movement when it first began and believed it would not gain nationwide acceptance.

According to him, despite the skepticism, those involved remained convinced that their efforts would resonate with Nigerians seeking political change. He recalled that the movement started without the backing of governors or an established political structure but gradually expanded through grassroots participation. GET FULL STORY HERE.
