Former Anambra State governor and Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, has confirmed his intention to contest the 2027 presidential election.
While speaking on an extended interaction on X, Obi was asked if he will run as Vice Presidential candidate in the 2027 election, Obi said
“So I am flying all over the world to learn how to govern in order to be vice? I am not God. I am going all over the world…I went to Indonesia, I spent one week to 10 days even going outside Jakarta to go and see the President. Do you visit the President to learn how to be vice. I am not God. I might not even be alive in 2027. Are you aware/. One of the best candidates on Brazil d!ed in a chopper. I am happy to God that I am alive. If I tell you the things I encounter, you will not believe it. Every single day.
Do you know how many times I want to travel out of this country and I am not allowed to travel?
Peter Obi is contesting for the office of the President. I am not God. God knows tomorrow.
I am most qualified and I tell anybody I will change this country. I have seen the experience, I have studied and followed it. That is how I work. I have the capacity, competence and compassion.”
