According to a video posted on the official YouTube channel of SYMFONI TV on Friday, June 12, 2026, former National Secretary of the defunct Alliance for Democracy, Professor Udenta Udenta, spoke on the political prospects of NDC presidential candidate Peter Obi, emphasizing the strength of the campaign’s communication strategy and its growing appeal among Nigerian voters.
Speaking during a political discussion, Udenta addressed concerns about Obi’s political standing and the departure of some individuals previously associated with his movement. He argued that political campaigns should not be judged solely by the presence or absence of certain personalities but by the effectiveness of their message and engagement with the public.
Udenta maintained that Obi continues to enjoy significant support across different parts of the country and remains a strong contender in the political landscape. He emphasized the importance of strategic communication in modern politics, noting that the ability to connect with voters and clearly present ideas can shape electoral outcomes.
Highlighting his point, Udenta said, “If you have Udenta to speak for him and his campaign, he doesn’t need anybody else.”
He, however, clarified that successful political campaigns require the contributions of many individuals working together toward a common objective. According to him, strong messaging, effective organization, and a clear vision for governance remain critical factors for any political movement seeking national support.
Udenta further argued that Nigerians are increasingly demanding a new style of leadership focused on productivity, accountability, and responsible governance.
