Abdulhameed Danbature, President of the Arewa Youth Assembly for Good Leadership, has declared that no Northern state will support Peter Obi in the 2027 presidential election.

He made the statement in a recent interview that has since circulated widely online.

Danbature spoke firmly about the region’s political direction and expressed confidence that Northern voters would not back the former Anambra governor. He presented the claim as a reflection of collective sentiment in the North.

The remark quickly triggered mixed reactions across social media. Many commenters rejected the assertion, insisting that no individual can speak for the entire Northern region. Some accused him of overreaching and said ordinary citizens would decide based on issues rather than regional directives.

Others supported the statement and argued that the North remains aligned against Obi’s candidacy. Discussions also turned to the broader 2027 race, with users sharing expectations about how the election might unfold and what factors could shape voter choices.

The exchange highlights the ongoing political conversations ahead of the next general elections. As reactions continue, many observers note that actual voting patterns will ultimately depend on the electorate rather than any single declaration.
