Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential flagbearer, has hinted that the 2027 general elections might be his last shot at running for the presidency. In a video that’s now making rounds on social media, Obi spoke about age and Nigeria’s political structure as reasons he may not stay in active politics beyond 2027. His media aide, Umar Ibrahim, confirmed the clip was recent.

Obi explained that there should be a retirement age in politics and noted that he’ll be 65 by the next election. He also pointed out that if power shifts to the North in 2031, it may not come back to the South until 2039, by which time he would be 77 — an age he believes is too late for another presidential run.

He said he wouldn’t want to contest at that point because it would go against everything he believes in. Still, he assured young Nigerians of his continued support. Obi said even if he’s not running, he’ll be fully behind any youth-led movement for real change and will offer any help he can.
