Social media commentator Geh Geh has declared his support for Peter Obi ahead of the 2027 general election, while criticising President Bola Tinubu over his handling of Nigeria’s challenges.
In a video circulating online, Geh Geh described Tinubu as a “service president”, accusing him of placing too much emphasis on public appearances and foreign trips while Nigerians continue to experience economic difficulties.
He argued that the president frequently travels abroad while citizens face hardship, only to return with apologies and promises to address the country’s problems.
Addressing Tinubu directly, the commentator urged him to reconsider his leadership, suggesting that the president should take a lesson from former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
He praised Obasanjo for returning to farming after leaving office, presenting the former president’s post-government activities as an example of moving on from political leadership.
Geh Geh also questioned Tinubu’s record in Lagos, arguing that the president’s achievements in the state had not convinced him of the administration’s ability to address Nigeria’s wider challenges.
He said:
“I’ll rather vote for an online president than to vote for a service president. A service president is a president that is always good for pictures and video, but it’s time for critical issues, you will start hearing he’s in Paris, UK and London.”
He further addressed Tinubu, describing his comments as advice from someone who regarded the president as a father figure.
“Tinubu, you’re like a father figure to me and am giving you a son to father advise, in all sincerity sir, you cannot lead Nigeria. Go and learn from Obasanjo,” he said.
Geh Geh also promised to use his social media platform to campaign for Obi, signalling his intention to publicly support the former Anambra State governor in the build-up to the 2027 presidential election.
His comments have added to the growing political conversations surrounding the next general election, with public figures and social media personalities increasingly expressing their preferences and criticisms of the current administration.

However, Geh Geh’s remarks represent his personal political assessment. His criticism of Tinubu’s record and his praise of Obasanjo’s post-presidency activities should be considered alongside independently verifiable records of government performance and the former president’s activities after leaving office.
