Former presidential candidate Peter Obi rejected claims that he invited Donald Trump to intervene in Nigeria’s security situation.
In a statement issued on 26 November 2025, Peter Obi sharply denied allegations — attributed to Bayo Onanuga — that he orchestrated a move to invite former U.S. President Donald Trump into Nigeria’s ongoing security situation. Obi described the narrative as political disinformation designed to distract from failures of governance such as insecurity, economic hardship, and corruption.
