“I Sang Peter Obi A Breakup Song” – Ex-Spokesperson Nana Kazaure
Former spokesperson for Peter Obi in Northern Nigeria, Nana Kazaure, has revealed that she personally informed the former Anambra State governor of her decision to leave his political camp, saying she even sang him a breakup song during their meeting.
Kazaure disclosed this in an interview with Naija Unfiltered, where she explained her reasons for withdrawing her support for Obi ahead of the 2027 general election and backing former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar.
According to her, her departure from Obi’s camp was not the result of a disagreement or dismissal, as she deliberately arranged a meeting with the former presidential candidate to communicate her decision in person.
She said she had always given her best wherever she found herself, adding that she maintained a cordial relationship with Obi despite deciding to support another political candidate.
“Wherever I find myself, I always make sure that I give in my very best. And so while I was with His Excellency Peter Obi, I gave my very best,” she said.
“I am very certain that if you have an interview with him, feel free to ask him about me. He will tell you, ‘Nana Kazaure is my dearest younger sister.’ And that is how I have chosen to leave it.
“One thing I did before leaving was to personally visit him and inform him of my decision. His Excellency did not find out online or through the news. I have home training, so I went to him,” she added.
Recounting the meeting, Kazaure disclosed that she sang Obi what she described as a breakup song and openly told him that she would no longer support his political ambition in the next election cycle.
“I even sang him a song, a breakup song. I told him, ‘I’m not supporting you this election cycle.’ I gave him my reasons,” she stated.
“It was an emotional moment. We spent one hour and 30 minutes discussing and thrashing things out,” she added.
Kazaure also dismissed suggestions that she was forced out of Obi’s political camp.
“So, I wasn’t sacked or thrown out. It was a perfect opportunity for me to share my thoughts, offer my advice and make suggestions,” she added.
Kazaure served as one of the spokespersons for the Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Council during the 2023 presidential election.
In February 2025, she was appointed Director of Strategic Communications and Media for the Obidient Movement, the political support group associated with Obi.
However, she subsequently moved away from Obi’s political camp and, in September 2026, assumed a spokesperson role with the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Campaign Council.
Her disclosure comes amid a series of high-profile departures from Obi’s political camp.
Former national coordinator of the Obidient Movement, Yunusa Tanko, recently announced his move to the Social Democratic Party (SDP), where he was unveiled as coordinator of its presidential campaign council.
Tanko, who previously served as Obi’s political adviser in the North, claimed that he was pushed out of the movement, alleging that he experienced a betrayal of trust and loyalty.
Unlike Kazaure, who maintained that she left on her own terms after a personal discussion with Obi, Tanko insisted that his departure was not voluntary.
“No, I didn’t exit. I was exited. I was exited,” he said, adding that he would rather go where his contributions were appreciated.
