Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, has clarified his stance on working with other candidates in the 2027 election. Obi stated that he is open to partnering with those who share his vision for Nigeria’s progress, but emphasized that he is not desperate for the presidency or any position.
He denied claims that he had shelved his presidential ambition or declared support for another candidate, saying that he is committed to the Labour Party and its mission to bring positive change to Nigeria.
Obi also highlighted the need to address pressing challenges facing Nigerians, such as hunger, poverty, and insecurity, rather than focusing solely on the 2027 election. He emphasized his commitment to working with others who share his vision for a better Nigeria, but stressed that any collaboration must be based on a shared commitment to progress, not just winning an election.
Obi’s statement comes after a recent interview went viral, sparking concerns among his supporters and members of the Obidient Movement. He reassured them that his commitment to Nigeria’s progress remains steadfast, and that he will continue to work towards building a better future for all Nigerians.
