“Peter Obi Should Drop Datti” – KlintonCod Suggests Kemi Badenoch as 2027 Running Mate

Nigerian comedian KlintonCod has stirred political discourse online after suggesting that Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi should drop Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed and instead run alongside British politician Kemi Badenoch in the 2027 elections.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the UK-based skitmaker shared his unfiltered political fantasy, claiming that a ticket featuring Obi and Badenoch would be a dream team.

“Left to me, I would even pair Kemi Badenoch as Obi’s vice. The country go sweet dieeeee. Make one naira miss for NNPC first,” he wrote in a viral post.

KlintonCod defended Badenoch who previously faced backlash for calling her boarding school experience in Nigeria “prison-like” saying her blunt honesty should be seen as a strength, not an insult.

“I am yet to find one solid & justifiable reason why Nigerians dislike Kemi Badenoch… She is TOO honest, and her honesty is attributed to the negative side of Nigeria,” he posted.

Backing up his point, KlintonCod shared his own harsh experiences from boarding school in Nigeria, recalling cult fights, corporal punishment, and the daily struggle of surviving in a toxic environment.

His post has sparked wide debate on social media, with some praising Badenoch’s candour and others questioning the comedian’s political idealism.

Reactions ranged from support for Badenoch’s perceived transparency to skepticism about her suitability for Nigerian politics. One user wrote,

“Omo, the coalition go too sweet. Aunty fit turn Naija to China where dem dey execute corrupt politicians.”
