The Lagos State APC spokesman, Mogaji Seye Oladejo, has raised concerns about Peter Obi's political momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections. He suggested that the enthusiasm generated by Obi's 2023 campaign may be diminishing.

In an opinion article published on October 19, 2026, Oladejo argued that Obi's political appeal has not yet translated into a sustainable structure capable of securing a presidential victory. He emphasized the need for a strong party organization and effective grassroots mobilization.

Oladejo acknowledged that Obi's 2023 campaign sparked significant public enthusiasm, especially among young Nigerians. However, he warned that political momentum alone is not enough to guarantee electoral success.
