The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has stated he will contest for the office of the President in 2027.
Naija News reports that the former Governor of Anambra State made this known during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics programme.
He said, “I’m going to contest for the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and I believe I am qualified for it.”
When asked whether he was considering becoming the running mate to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) 2023 presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi said nobody had discussed such a possibility with him.
He stated, “This is not in play; nobody has ever discussed that. People assume so many things. Nobody has ever discussed with me whether I am going to be A or B or C.”
Peter Obi further emphasised that he remains an active member of the Labour Party.
However, he is an active member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition, which the opposition has adopted to unseat President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who is seeking re-election in 2027.
He added, “I am part of the coalition which will be able to produce a president with the capacity and compassion to save this country.”
