Breaking News: 2027:I Won’t Be Anyone’s Running Mate, Peter Obi Declares
Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, has confirmed that he will contest the 2027 general election, firmly ruling out any possibility of serving as a vice-presidential candidate.
Obi made the declaration on Sunday night while speaking during an interactive session on X Spaces, where he addressed supporters and Nigerians on his political future and vision for the country.
The former Anambra State governor said his years of experience in governance and business have prepared him for the highest office in the land, stressing that he has no intention of settling for a subordinate role.
“I am not travelling round the world to learn governance to be vice president,” Obi stated.
He added that he possesses the capacity and competence required to lead Nigeria out of its current challenges, citing his background in building successful businesses from scratch and his experience in public service.
“I know how to turn Nigeria around. I built my business from scratch and have more experience than any candidate, including the sitting President,” he said.
Reaffirming his determination, Obi assured supporters that his name would appear on the ballot in 2027, calling for their continued backing.
“Peter Obi will be on the ballot in 2027. I need your support. I need your prayers,” he concluded.
