The spokesperson for the New Democratic Congress (NDC), Theo Agada, has urged the party leadership to remove what he called “opportunistic content creators masquerading as activists” ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Agada made the call in a post on X on Saturday in reaction to a video shared by a content creator identified as Flag Boy NG.
In the video, the creator, wearing a shirt associated with the Obidient Movement, displayed political flags and materials linked to Peter Obi and the NDC.
He later removed the shirt, gathered the items, poured liquid over them and set them on fire. The footage ended with a Flagboy NG graphic featuring Nigerian flags.
The video drew mixed reactions on social media, with some viewers interpreting it as the creator’s decision to distance himself from the NDC and the Obidient Movement.
Responding to the incident, Agada expressed frustration and accused some content creators of using activism for personal gain.
He wrote: “To be honest, I am so exhausted. I think it is about time the party leadership got rid of these opportunistic content creators masquerading as activists. “If the motivation is not campaign donations, why are you people fighting over leadership in your micro-movements? Shame on you all.”
It has not been independently confirmed whether the video represents a formal decision by the content creator to leave the NDC.
Agada, however, used the incident to renew his criticism of certain content creators involved in political activism, especially those running independent micro-movements within the broader opposition space.
