“THE REST ARE THIEVES” — SAM AMADI IGNITES 2027 POLITICAL FIRESTORM WITH STRONG ENDORSEMENT OF PETER OBI
Political tension is rising ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 elections after former NERC Chairman, Sam Amadi, made a bold and controversial statement that has sparked heated debate across social media and political circles. Alot of people won’t agree with this, Watch Video Now.
Amadi, in a post shared on X, openly declared that Labour Party’s Peter Obi is the only presidential candidate he can “excitedly support,” while sharply criticizing other major contenders in a way that has stirred national conversation.
In his statement, Amadi reportedly described other presidential hopefuls in very strong terms, referring to them as lacking integrity and even calling them “thieves,” a comment that has triggered both support and backlash online.
The former electricity regulator made the remarks while reacting to an ongoing social media discussion involving alleged financial misconduct linked to a well-known Lagos socialite and its possible political connections. His comments quickly shifted the conversation into a wider debate about leadership, accountability, and trust in Nigeria’s political system.
While some Nigerians agreed with his position, saying he was simply speaking the truth about corruption in politics, others criticized his choice of words, arguing that such sweeping statements could deepen political divisions ahead of the 2027 elections.
