The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi has revealed why he joined the coalition ahead of the 2027 elections.
He said he’s in the coalition to fight against bad governance, hunger, and poverty, not personal political ambition.
Obi made the revelation in response to a question regarding reports of an alleged agreement with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to serve as his Vice President in the upcoming 2027 elections.
According to the report, Atiku had agreed to serve for only one term and was willing to formalize the agreement in writing.
Speaking at an event in Kubwa, organized by the Anglican Church, Obi neither confirmed nor denied the existence of such an agreement. Instead, he emphasized his commitment to the coalition’s mission.
Obi stated, “You can make the report what you want, but I’m in a coalition against bad governance, hunger, and poverty.”
His remarks underscore his focus on national development and social welfare over political positioning.
