Isaac Balami: The Unsung Architect Behind Peter Obi’s Campaign and His Betrayal

I share the untold story of Engr. Isaac Balami. He was the technical brain and financier of Peter Obi’s 2023 campaign. He provided vehicles, managed aviation assets, and risked his safety and finances to support the movement. Balami also served as National Deputy Campaign Manager. He built bridges in volatile regions and invested his life savings, even selling key aviation assets, to fund nationwide operations. In return, he faced indifference and silence after the election. His journey exposes a troubling trend in Nigerian politics. Movements often consume loyal supporters and discard them when convenient. True leadership honors those who build the foundation. Isaac Balami’s story is a lesson in integrity, loyalty, and the cost of personality cults.
