Controversy Trails Peter Obi’s Reaction to Property Demolition

A video of former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi reacting to the demolition of his brother’s property in Lagos has sparked widespread attention and debate.
The footage shows Obi expressing dismay and lamenting the demolition, which some have pointed out as hypocritical given his own past actions.
In 2013, Obi, as governor, had ordered the demolition of Upper Class Hotel owned by Chief Bonaventure Mokwe-Dikeh without a court order. The demolition was widely criticized, and Mokwe-Dikeh’s family claimed they were left disenfranchised and seeking justice.
Some observers have drawn parallels between Obi’s current reaction and his past actions, suggesting that karma may have come full circle.
Others have noted that the situation serves as a reminder that actions have consequences and that justice may be delayed but not denied.
The incident has reignited discussions about accountability, executive power, and the rule of law in Nigeria. As the nation watches, many are calling for Obi to take responsibility for his past actions and for justice to be served in this matter.
