Anambra PDP Wants Peter Obi to Return and Rebuild the Party for a Better Nigeria
The Anambra State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on former governor Peter Obi to return to the party. Obi, who contested the 2023 presidential election under the Labour Party after leaving the PDP, was invited back during an expanded meeting of the PDP State Executive Committee held in Awka on Thursday.
In a statement signed by the state chairman, Chidi Chidebe, the party warned that forming alliances with groups that do not share similar values may not bring the expected results. He urged all former and aggrieved PDP members in the state, especially Peter Obi, to come back and join hands with the restructured and energized party. “We openly welcome all our brothers and sisters back, especially our respected former governor, Mr Peter Obi, to join us in our mission to build a better Nigeria,” Chidebe said.
He also encouraged voters in Anambra to support PDP candidates Jude Ezenwafor and Francis Okeke in the upcoming elections. Chidebe further appealed to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure that the process is free, fair, and transparent. In the same meeting, the party announced the unanimous nomination of Chief Clems Ezike as Anambra’s National Ex-Officio and asked the Southeast Zonal Executive Committee, led by Chief Ali Odefa, to forward his name to the PDP national secretariat.
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that the outcome of the 2027 general elections will be based on the performance of candidates, not defections.
The party stressed that defections alone do not win elections, noting that credibility, leadership, and results matter more. This was said in response to comments credited to former governor Rauf Aregbesola.
The APC also dismissed claims that the opposition’s performance in Lagos weakened the party, pointing out that voters later reaffirmed their support by re-electing the APC in the governorship election and subsequent polls.
Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has spoken on the allegation that terrorism and the increase in insecurity are linked to his administration in the state.
The governor then said “This is a country where when you work, you become a villain. I have kept quiet for too long for peace and security. But I am not a coward. I will not join them. I refuse to join their party,” he stated.
“We have built our health system, primary education, and reduced out-of-school children. We have been awarded three times by the federal government for development and good governance. And they are accusing us? What kind of paradox is this?”
Media personality Dele Momodu reacts and shares his thoughts regarding First Lady Remi Tinubu interrupting the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, during a recent event.
The event was the 10th coronation anniversary of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi. In the scene, while Governor Adeleke was giving a speech, he began with a worship song. But while singing, the First Lady stood up and met him to inform him to stop singing and go directly to his speech instead.
Media personality Dele then reacted and questioned why she would do something like that, asking if she would have done the same kind of interruption if it were the recitation of the Qur’an.
