Former Labor presidential candidate Peter Obi has attracted great attention online after he provided guests with food in person at an event at IMO State University Umuchima.
In the viral video, former Governor Anambra is seen holding a tray from table to table, caring for guests with a warm and approachable manner. His team members are closely following and allow him to interact directly with attendees.
The party was held in the quiet neighborhood of Umuchima, emphasizing Obi’s down-to-earth approach. Many observers described the moment when he chose to make food a prominent feature of his activity, calling it a reflection of his human-first attitude.
Since the video surfaced, compliments have spread across social media platforms. Many Nigerians praised Obi’s humility and simplicity, qualities that shaped both his public image and his political style. A social media user described him as a “true servant leader.”
However, not everyone has the same view. Some skeptics see the act as a political strategy. One comment wrote: “Don’t deceive yourself, it’s hopeless. Nigerian Don Mingzhi passed all of this.”
The outing also marks one of Obi’s first public appearances after he has been aligned with the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition, a move seen as part of his broader strategy to build a coalition ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 election.
