Peter Obi Snubs Rhodes-Vivour’s Bereavement, Visits Fayose Instead

Peter Obi declined a condolence visit to Lagos governorship aspirant Chinedu Rhodes-Vivour after the loss of his mother. He opted to visit Isaac Fayose, who had threatened to withdraw political support. Critics say this move shows a transactional approach to personal grief and political loyalty. They accuse Obi of mixing private loss with public strategy. Some point back to his time as Anambra governor, alleging he used religious divisions for political gain. They ask how far he will go in playing politics with personal matters.

Maybe Obi had valid reasons for prioritizing Fayose, but sidelining a grieving opponent feels insensitive and politically tone-deaf.

If politicians want genuine support, they should balance personal condolences with strategic alliances to avoid backlash and win public trust.
