The Peter Obi Media Office (POMR) has expressed concern over reports that about 600 university academics have endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election. In a statement by spokesman Idris Zekeri Jnr., POMR urged INEC to identify academics involved in political endorsements and bar them from serving as Returning Officers, Collation Officers, or other electoral personnel in 2027. The office argued that such endorsements could undermine confidence in the neutrality of academics recruited as electoral officials.
