A Nigerian man has sparked controversy online after calling out Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, for allegedly flying business class—despite his repeated claims that he only travels in economy to stay relatable to ordinary Nigerians.

The accusation surfaced after the man reportedly spotted Obi in the premium cabin on a recent flight, contradicting the politician’s widely publicized statements about his modest lifestyle. Social media quickly erupted with mixed reactions, with some users defending Obi, saying he may have received an upgrade or had special circumstances, while others accused him of hypocrisy.

Peter Obi has built his public image on simplicity, often emphasizing that he avoids luxury to remain in touch with the struggles of everyday Nigerians. This latest claim, however, has led to renewed scrutiny of his personal choices versus his public statements.

As the debate intensifies, Obi’s supporters and critics are awaiting his response to the allegations.
