How Peter Obi Became The Man Who Accidentally Changed The Way I Viewed Atiku — Nana Kazaure

According to a video posted on Symfoni TV on Friday November 13, 2026, Nana Kazaure said Peter Obi was the person who made her look at Atiku Abubakar differently. Kazaure is now a spokesperson for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and was once part of the Obedient movement. She spoke on the Niger Unfiltered podcast.

The host asked how a man she once campaigned against became someone she now supports. Kazaure said politics has life and people align and realign as they learn. She said that when she first came on board, she could have been called a political neophyte.

She said she still stands by what she said in 2022 and before the 2023 general elections. She added that she remains in the opposition. She said that when things quieten down, a person begins to reflect.

In her words, Nana Kazaure said, “It will interest you to know that my former principal, who will always remain my boss, His Excellency Peter Obi, was the person that actually steered me.

“He said, no, this person, this is what he stands for, this is what he represents. There was a time, I think it was on African Independent Television, if I recall correctly, where I really came out guns blazing, and His Excellency Peter Obi said to me, no, he’s my boss, let’s stick to the issues,” she said.

Kazaure said she liked that Obi asked for the discussion to remain issue-based. She described him as highly respected in political circles. She said this made her begin to see him and other political players differently.

She said she took time before joining the ADC because she had a sister to care for, whom she later lost. She said she walked into the ADC office on October 16 last year, paid her dues and became a card-carrying member. She said she then laid low and watched events before deciding to stay.
