Former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi has attracted attention online after a video showing an unusual interaction between him and one of his well-known supporters, Peter Akah, surfaced on social media.
The incident, which occurred on August 19, 2026, quickly became a subject of online banter after the footage appeared to show Obi asking Akah to move away from him.
Akah, popularly known as Randy Peter or Peter for Nigeria, is recognised for his energetic support and online advocacy for the former presidential candidate.
However, the latest encounter between the politician and his supporter appeared different from the enthusiastic interactions often associated with Akah’s public appearances.
Peter Obi appears to send supporter away
In the short video circulating online, Akah was seen near Obi when the politician appeared to become uncomfortable with the situation.
Obi seemingly gestured for the activist to move away, with his body language suggesting that he wanted some personal space.
Although the brief footage captured the interaction, it did not reveal what happened before the moment or what may have prompted Obi’s reaction.
The lack of context has left social media users speculating about what could have happened between the two men.
Some users turned the incident into a joke, with commentators suggesting that Akah’s energetic style of supporting Obi may have tested the politician’s patience.
Others offered a less dramatic explanation, speculating that Obi could simply have been trying to avoid being filmed or wanted some space at the time.
The brief encounter has continued to generate reactions online, particularly because of Akah’s reputation as one of the more recognisable and vocal supporters of the former Anambra governor.
