Abba Moro Says Peter Obi Could Get PDP Presidential Ticket in 2027 if He Returns
Abba Moro, the Senator representing Benue South and current Senate Minority Leader, has said that Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, could have a shot at clinching the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) presidential ticket if he decides to return to the party.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Moro explained that politics is unpredictable, noting that “in politics, two plus two is not always four.” He stressed that discussions within political circles are often driven by collective interests, especially from communities within different geopolitical zones.
According to him, while the PDP has not officially reached out to Obi, some individuals have already opened conversations with him. Moro added that if Obi eventually comes back and emerges as the most popular and widely accepted aspirant, then he stands a strong chance of carrying the PDP flag in the 2027 elections.
He emphasized that many within the party believe Obi’s return and candidacy could significantly boost PDP’s chances in the next general elections.
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.
