The 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has confirmed that he will be running for president in 2027, dismissing speculation that he will become the running mate to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
Obi stated this during an interview on Channels
“I’m going to contest for the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and I believe I am qualified for it,” Obi said.
Responding to rumours that he may pair up with Atiku of the Peoples Democratic Party, Obi said, “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.”
