Nigerian singer and reality TV star Whitemoney has shared a message he received from his grandmother about former presidential candidate Peter Obi. Taking to social media, the music star revealed that his grandmother, a strong admirer of Obi, reached out after watching a video of the politician online.
Grandmother's Concern Over Obi's Security
Whitemoney disclosed that his grandmother mistakenly assumed he had a personal connection with Obi and expressed her concern directly through him. She sent a WhatsApp video of Peter Obi and followed it with a worried voice note. In the message, she questioned why the former presidential candidate moves around so freely without heavy security, given his public profile.
He stated: "My grandmother happens to be a big supporter of almost everyone's favourite presidential candidate. She sent me this video on WhatsApp thinking I know him personally, asking me, 'Why is Mr Peter Obi exposing himself like this in public? Does he think he's the only humble person? He needs to protect himself. He's the only hope we have.'"

The moment he starts moving around with multiple 'men' visibly surrounding him, he becomes the typical 'big man'. Allow PO move as he moves; he's not stupid and I'm sure he has guards blending in." @jerrynwobodo wrote: "This message is timely. However, the best security is not seen or perceived. It's just effective." @nnakwe_mathias noted: "Exactly what I said this morning. The average black man might clamor for change but his actions will destroy every and any attempt to move forward. It's like taming the wild. He's dismantling structures and has to be careful and watch his back." @1Windway wrote: "All this nonsense will not dash Obi Nig Presidency ok. If you want tell lies with your great great grandma and grandpa, Obi will never be Nig President because he is not even working for such rather he wants to be deceiving people that he is working to be President."
Whitemoney's revelation has stirred conversations online about Obi's simplicity and public accessibility. The singer also previously cursed a blogger over claims about Shallipopi, clarifying that he had only love for the artist.
