2027: Obi dispels merger deal with PDP, NNPP
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram

Although the 2027 election is some years away, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has dispelled merger deal speculation with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), or any other party.

During a news conference on the state of the country in Abuja on Thursday morning, the former governor of Anambra State made this statement.

There is currently no agreement in place with other parties, he added. In 2027, he called for all Nigerians who cared about the country to unite and oppose the All Progressives Congress (APC), which he claimed was mishandling the nation’s riches.

Obi also called the nation’s security condition regrettable, claiming that kidnapping-for-ransom, terrorism, and banditry cause unnecessary deaths among Nigerians.

He claimed that under President Bola Tinubu of the APC, Nigeria’s level of corruption and the expense of governance have both remained high, resulting in an unimaginable rise in the country’s national debt.

Obi said that through frequent international travel in 2024, government officials wilfully misappropriated public monies.

In the 2023 presidential election, Tinubu won the most votes (8,794,726), about two million more than his closest opponent, PDP candidate Atiku Abubakar, after winning in 12 of Nigeria’s 36 states and garnering sizable numbers in a number of additional states.

Atiku, who has run for president six times, got 6,984,520 votes, while Obi, a first-time contestant, secured an unprecedented 6,101,533. NNPP’s Rabiu Kwankwaso, former Kano State governor, finished fourth, claiming victory in his state—Kano. He secured 1,496,687 votes.

Interestingly, Obi and Kwankwaso were PDP members months before the last poll but cited irreconcilable differences as reasons they exited the party.
