Popular Nigerian TikTok streamer Hamzat Adelaja, widely known as Peller, has announced plans to host a livestream with Peter Obi, the former Anambra State governor and presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
Peller made the disclosure during a TikTok livestream, revealing that Obi’s team had reached out to him to arrange the proposed online session.
However, the announcement has come with a clarification from the content creator, who insists that his planned interaction with the politician should not be interpreted as an endorsement of Obi’s 2027 presidential ambition.
According to Peller, the proposed livestream is intended to create content and engage his audience rather than promote any political candidate or campaign.
The streamer stressed that he was not supporting any presidential aspirant and had not asked his followers or other Nigerians to vote for Obi. Instead, he said the session would take the form of a question-and-answer interaction, with questions supplied by his followers.
Peller Clarifies Purpose of Planned Peter Obi Livestream
Addressing his audience during the TikTok broadcast, Peller said Obi’s team had expressed interest in appearing on his platform for a livestream.
He explained that the invitation was specifically for an online interaction and maintained that participating in the session did not mean he had aligned himself with the politician’s political ambitions.
The content creator also urged viewers not to rush to conclusions about his intentions, noting that his decision to host a politician should not automatically be taken as support for that person.
Peller made it clear that he intended to facilitate a conversation rather than use his platform to campaign for Obi ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
In his words, the proposed session would be an opportunity for him to engage the former governor through questions from his audience.
His clarification appeared aimed at addressing possible assumptions that his involvement in a livestream with a presidential candidate would amount to political support.
‘I No Tell Una Make Una Vote Anybody’ — Peller
During the broadcast, Peller addressed his followers in his characteristic conversational style, insisting that he had not told anyone to vote for a particular candidate.
He said: “Peter Obi’s people want to stream with me on TikTok. They want to do a stream with me on TikTok. Guys, listen, because una dey quick to judge person. I no tell una make una vote anybody. Me, I no be president supporter.”
He continued by explaining that his interest was limited to hosting the proposed interaction on his TikTok platform.
Peller added: “Me, I just wan stream with them on my livestream on TikTok, question and answer. Make una give me questions to ask them and I go ask them. E no concern me.”
The remarks underscored his position that the planned session should be viewed as a content engagement opportunity rather than a declaration of political allegiance.
He also made it clear that he did not intend to use the livestream to persuade Nigerians to support Obi’s presidential ambition.
Peller Asks Followers to Submit Questions for Peter Obi
Beyond announcing the proposed livestream, Peller invited his audience to contribute questions that could be raised during the interaction with Obi.
He explained that the questions would come from his followers, giving them an opportunity to participate in the conversation even if they were not directly appearing on the broadcast.
According to the streamer, he would ask the questions submitted by viewers during the session rather than focus on personal issues of his own.
The format, as described by Peller, would therefore centre on audience participation and a question-and-answer exchange with the former Anambra governor.
However, he did not disclose the date or time of the proposed livestream, and further details about its arrangements were not provided during the announcement.
It also remains unclear which subjects will feature in the discussion or whether the session will cover Obi’s political plans, public record or other issues of interest to viewers.
For now, Peller’s announcement has established the proposed interaction and its intended format, while leaving the specific questions and schedule to be confirmed.
Livestream Announcement Draws Attention to Social Media and Politics
Peller’s planned interaction with Peter Obi highlights the growing role of social media platforms in conversations involving public figures, political personalities and online audiences.
TikTok livestreams allow creators to engage followers in real time, creating opportunities for direct conversations that differ from conventional interviews or political events.
For a content creator such as Peller, the format also offers an opportunity to bring a prominent political figure before an audience that may engage with public affairs through digital entertainment platforms.
Nevertheless, Peller has drawn a distinction between providing a platform for a politician and endorsing that politician’s candidacy.
His comments indicate that he wants the proposed session to be understood as an audience-driven discussion rather than a campaign activity.
Whether the livestream will attract further political debate remains to be seen. Peller has, however, maintained that his role will be to ask questions submitted by his followers, not to tell them whom to support at the ballot box.
What to Expect From the Proposed Peller–Peter Obi Session
Based on Peller’s announcement, the planned livestream will feature a question-and-answer format involving the TikTok streamer and Peter Obi, with audience-submitted questions forming the basis of the discussion.
The streamer has not announced a confirmed date or time for the broadcast, nor has he released a detailed agenda for the session.
He has also reiterated that his participation should not be interpreted as support for Obi’s 2027 presidential ambition or any other candidate’s campaign.
For his followers, the proposed livestream could provide an opportunity to put questions to a prominent political figure through a familiar social media platform.
Until further details emerge, Peller’s position remains straightforward: he intends to host the interaction, collect questions from his audience and ask them during the broadcast, while maintaining that he is not endorsing any presidential candidate.
