A video circulating Tuesday shows Senator Mao Ohuabunwa speaking at an outdoor gathering in Abia State as he urged support for the All Progressives Congress and President Bola Tinubu.
People in the audience pushed back at once. They told him they would not follow that campaign. The clip has drawn wide attention because the rejection happened in front of him rather than later online.
The original post that shared the video praised Abia residents for speaking directly and named Peter Obi as the preferred choice for 2027. Replies described the moment as Igbos refusing to accept the pitch and resisting it immediately.
Ohuabunwa has previously spoken in support of infrastructure work by both Governor Alex Otti and the president. This latest appearance however met open resistance from the crowd present.
