Fateema Mamatee, a Cameroonian, has said that Peter Obi’s influence is reverberating across Africa, transcending borders with visionary ideas for development and change across Africa.
She further said, “From Ghana to Zimbabwe, and even reaching as far as Kenya and Ivory Coast, Obi’s visionary ideas for progress are gaining traction”, positioning him as a relentless advocate for positive transformation.
Taking to her X account, Mamatee wrote, “On Peter Obi, it’s great to see that his influence is spreading across the African continent, from Ghana, Cameroon to Ivory Coast, and even as far as Kenya and Zimbabwe. Who knew that a Nigerian politician could have such a far-reaching impact?
“Obi is on a mission to collect all the African countries like Pokémon, but instead of throwing Poké Balls, he’s throwing out ideas for development and change. And with each new country he visits, his influence grows stronger, like a political version of the Infinity Stones.

“But seriously, it’s refreshing to see a Nigerian politician who is not only focused on his own country but also on the betterment of the entire continent. It’s almost as if he’s trying to create a real-life Wakanda, minus the Vibranium and the high-tech gadgets.”
“So, here’s to Peter Obi, the man who’s showing the world that African leaders can be a force for positive change, both at home and abroad. And who knows, maybe one day we’ll all be saying “Wakanda forever” in his honour,” she added.
Recently, the 2023 presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi, addressed an audience of policymakers, economists, and dignitaries in Kenya for the Inaugural Colloquium on Governance, Trade and African Unity, Obi emphasized that the prevailing fiscal indiscipline in many African countries has resulted in unproductivity, excessive consumption, and an alarming accumulation of unserviceable debts.
Drawing comparisons with rapidly growing economies like China, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam, Obi highlighted how these nations have successfully lifted millions out of poverty through prudent fiscal policies and resource management. In contrast, Africa’s failure to adopt similar strategies has exacerbated poverty levels, with over 60% of extremely poor people, out-of-school children, and unemployed youth residing in sub-Saharan Africa.
However, Peter Obi stressed the urgent need for African governments to prioritize fiscal discipline and effective resource management to spur economic stability and growth across the continent.
