A statement reportedly made by Danbature, identified as President of Arewa Youths, has sparked widespread reactions online after he criticized Peter Obi and dismissed his chances of becoming Nigeria’s president.
In the viral statement, Danbature allegedly said:
“Peter Obi you can only be Nigerian president in your dream, your 4 years tenure promised if you become president is a scam to deceive Northern Nigerians.”
The comment quickly generated heated debates across social media, with many Nigerians condemning the remarks and arguing that no single region determines election outcomes in the country.
Reacting to the statement, @Rita_mila3040 questioned the criticism and wrote:
“So who do you think will make a better president?”
Another user, @Inosabithem, criticized the continued regional division in Nigerian politics.
“All these north, south east and west something just dey worry una.”
Several users also argued that the decision on who becomes president ultimately belongs to Nigerians at the polls.
@Eromani_OES commented:
“So northern youths decides who will be president of Nigeria? Sounds terrible.”
Similarly, @obuakus wrote:
“Northerners now feel they can decide the election result.”
While some users defended Peter Obi, others maintained that every candidate should be judged by their plans and capacity to govern.
@KYLEtemmie stated:
“At this point, let’s see what he has to offer.”
