2027: Utomi reacts to mammoth crowd in Jos as Peter Obi storms Plateau capital [VIDEO]

Reaction to viral video of Obi in Jos

Professor Pat Utomi, a Nigerian political‑economics scholar, reacted to a viral video that captured the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate Peter Obi being welcomed by a large crowd in Jos, Plateau State, ahead of the January 2027 presidential election.

The clip shows Obi arriving in Jos and being mobbed by enthusiastic supporters. He also met with students from the University of Jos (UniJos) during his political engagements in the state.

Utomi praised the support Obi enjoys as invaluable, arguing that genuine love and loyalty cannot be bought with money or manufactured through political machinery.

“There is a kind of love that no amount of money can purchase, no political machinery can manufacture, and no army of hired voices can imitate. It must be earned, quietly, through the hearts of ordinary people. And that, perhaps, is what makes Peter Obi so remarkable. He is LITERALLY that man!”

He suggested that Obi’s connection with ordinary Nigerians gives the NDC candidate an advantage over rivals from other parties, and described Obi as a remarkable figure in the campaign.
