Peter Obi Confirms 2027 Presidential Bid, Rules Out Vice-Presidential Slot

The 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has confirmed that he will contest the 2027 general election.

Obi made the declaration during an X Spaces discussion on Sunday night, where he firmly ruled out the possibility of running as a vice-presidential candidate.

The former Anambra State governor said he did not acquire years of experience in governance and business only to settle for the position of vice-president.

“I am not travelling round the world to learn governance to be vice-president,” Obi said.

“I know how to turn Nigeria around. I built my business from scratch and have more experience than any candidate, including the sitting President.

“Peter Obi will be on the ballot in 2027. I need your support. I need your prayers.”
