Peter Obi Dismisses Rumors of Vice Presidential Candidacy in 2027

Peter Obi, the Labour Party‘s presidential candidate in Nigeria’s 2023 election, has firmly dismissed rumors suggesting he would consider running as a vice-presidential candidate in the 2027 election. Obi, who gained widespread support during the 2023 race, reiterated that his political ambitions remain focused on the presidency, rejecting any notion of stepping down to a secondary role.

Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, emphasized that his goal is to lead Nigeria and implement his vision for national reform, including economic development, anti-corruption measures, and addressing poverty. These assertions came in response to ongoing speculation about potential alliances with other political figures or parties, but Obi has made it clear that he has no intention of compromising his presidential aspirations for a vice-presidential position.

I think Peter Obi should focus on leading his state instead of eyeing the vice presidency again. Prioritize governance over politics.
