Former Anambra State governor and 2023 presidential candidate Peter Obi has attracted attention on social media after sharing a video of himself working out in a gym ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The video, shared on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, showed Obi exercising on a treadmill while a message reading “Nigeria will be OK” appeared alongside the footage. He also highlighted the importance of exercise, writing in the caption that exercise is one of the best ways to care for the body.

The video has generated reactions from Nigerians online, with some users praising his commitment to keeping fit while others used the opportunity to make comparisons with President Bola Tinubu.

Businessman and social media personality BLord was among those who reacted to the video, adding to the online discussion surrounding Obi and his political ambitions.

The development comes as political conversations intensify ahead of the 2027 general elections, with politicians and their supporters increasingly drawing public attention to their activities and messages.

Obi, who contested the 2023 presidential election under the Labour Party, remains a prominent figure in Nigeria’s opposition politics. His public appearances and social media posts continue to attract interest as the next election approaches.

While the gym video has prompted discussions about fitness and political leadership, the election campaign will ultimately bring wider attention to the candidates’ policies, records and plans for addressing Nigeria’s challenges.
