Former Borno State Governor Ali Modu Sheriff says the 2027 presidential candidate Peter Obi wants to divide Nigeria. Sheriff makes the allegation during an interview on Channels Television’s “Politics Today,” where he reacts to Obi’s calls. In the reports, Sheriff’s claim is presented as his viewpoint rather than a substantiated finding, and no specific evidence is detailed in the coverage. The sources describe the allegation as part of broader political criticism directed at Obi and his agenda, framed around concerns about national unity. Both outlets report that Sheriff, speaking on Monday, characterizes Obi’s approach as divisive, using language that links the candidate’s statements to an alleged intent to fracture the country. The articles do not include responses from Obi or the Nigeria Democratic Congress, and they do not cite independent verification of the claim. Overall, the coverage centers on Sheriff’s public accusation in a televised interview.
