Controversy
In October, an article emerged which claimed that Professor Aniebiet was "set" to endorse the Presidential Candidate of the Nigerian Labor Party, Peter Obi ahead of the 2023 Nigerian Elections. Other articles went further to claim that Aniebiet will be the Minister of Education in the “Obi-Datti administration”.[31][32] Later that week, Professor Aniebiet through a statement released in the City of Calabar said she has no plans to endorse any political party or candidate ahead of the 2023 general elections, she also noted that she has no interest in “any divisive issues or any political appointments” from the Labor Party. Her statement ignited an strong response from supporters of the Youth 'Obidient' movement who took to various social media platforms to criticize her. [33][34][35]
