The former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has officially confirmed he will be running again during the 2027 elections.
He clarified that he did not need to officially defect to or join the opposition coalition, the Africa Democratic Congress, ADC.
Obi revealed this while speaking during a X Spaces on Sunday night.
The ex-Governor of Anambra State, however, insisted he will not be a running mate to anybody.
According to Obi, he has not garnered all the experience he has, only to end up as a 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.”
According to Obi, he has always been a member of the ADC and was part of the coalition from its inception.
Obi also made it clear that he will always have respect for ex-vice president Atiku Abubakar.
“I am not joining ADC. I can’t re-join what I am already a part of,” Obi said.
“I’ve been part of the coalition from day one.
“Nobody is stepping down for me in ADC.
“We have all agreed to work together and Atiku remains my respected leader.”
