Nicki Minaj Follows Peter Obi On X After Viral Repost

American rapper Nicki Minaj has reportedly followed Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate Peter Obi on X, shortly after reposting his statement concerning reported killings and abductions in Niger State.

According to Ireporter Online, a check of Minaj’s X account showed that Obi was the only 2027 presidential candidate reportedly followed by the rapper on the platform.

The development came shortly after Minaj reposted a statement shared by Obi, in which the former Anambra State governor condemned the reported killings and abductions in Niger State.

In the statement, Obi described the situation as a systematic devaluation of human life and called for intelligence-led action against criminal networks responsible for attacks and abductions across the country.

He also stressed the need for stronger security measures to protect communities and citizens from further attacks.

Minaj’s repost generated reactions among Nigerians and social media users in the country and abroad, with some applauding the rapper for drawing attention to concerns over insecurity, justice and the protection of affected communities.

Her decision to subsequently follow Obi on X has further fueled online discussions, particularly amid growing attention to political figures and developments ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 presidential election.

The development also comes as conversations around insecurity and political leadership continue to generate significant engagement across Nigerian social media platforms.
