He warned that political actors often exploit identity-based narratives when they struggle to compete on ideas, saying such tactics were evident during the 2023 elections and continue in more subtle forms today.
Obi defended Adeboye, describing him as a respected religious leader who has consistently preached peace and unity, and said it was unfair to expect an 84-year-old cleric to take on responsibilities that belong to younger Nigerians.
He also urged young people to verify information before sharing it, resist manipulation, and focus on unity and national development rather than division.
In short: the message was both a defence of Adeboye and a broader warning against ethnic-driven political narratives online.
