Nigerian influencer Pamilerin Adegoke has stirred conversation online after sharing his thoughts on governance in the South-East.
In a tweet that quickly gained traction on X (formerly Twitter), he compared the performances of Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah and Abia State Governor Alex Otti, questioning why one seems to get more public praise than the other.
“Peter Mbah is clearly delivering results in Enugu, arguably the most effective governor in the East right now, yet the same energy goes into hyping Alex Otti simply because of party affiliation. We see the bias,” he wrote.
Pamilerin’s remark comes as Alex Otti continues to receive accolades from Nigerians, who praise his projects and initiatives aimed at improving life in Abia. According to the influencer, Peter Mbah deserves similar recognition for his achievements in Enugu, but partisan bias appears to shape public opinion.
The tweet has sparked a lively debate online. Some users agreed, arguing that a governor’s performance should matter more than political affiliation. Others defended both leaders, suggesting that each should be evaluated based on tangible results in their states.
One user commented, “Alex Otti is actually trying, you can’t deny his impact in Abia. 👏” Another added, “True, performance should matter more than party.”
As discussions continue, many Nigerians are reflecting on how political loyalties influence narratives around governance and whether effective leaders like Peter Mbah are getting the recognition they deserve.
