Peter Obi Says He Will Still Run for President with Labour Party in 2027 Elections
Former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi has confirmed he will continue to run under the Labour Party banner for the 2027 elections. In a video shared on social media, Obi told supporters, “I will still continue to run in the Labour Party. I’m a member of the Labour Party.”
Obi also blamed ongoing political party crises on the Nigerian government. He explained that these problems are not new but are deliberately caused by the system to weaken opposition. He recalled a similar issue during President Yar’Adua’s time when he personally intervened to resolve disputes involving the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
“Today, all parties face problems, and these are created by the system. This is what I want to fix if given the chance,” Obi said. “A strong opposition is key to a functioning democracy.” The former Anambra governor emphasized that Nigerians must take responsibility to ensure free and fair elections.
Obi’s announcement comes as he works alongside former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and ex-Kaduna governor Nasir El-Rufai to build an opposition coalition. This coalition aims to challenge President Bola Tinubu’s bid for reelection in 2027. El-Rufai recently confirmed that the group’s goal is to prevent Tinubu from securing a second term and send him back to Lagos.
Anambra State Commissioner for Information and Value Reorientation, Law Mefor, speaks on Peter Obi and shares that he made wonderful achievements as a governor and roots for him for the presidency.
“The intention of the Anambra State government is not to indict Peter Obi. Peter Obi did well as governor.
“There is no rift between Governor Soludo and Peter Obi. They are both in politics, and they have their interests to defend.”
Peter Obi makes headlines as he received huge recognition and a welcome in Delta State.
A crowd came out to support the politician and show their support for him ahead of the election next year.
They moved with the message, “Peter Obi will reset Nigeria, Peter Obi for president.” Many shared their beliefs that Peter Obi can truly help Nigeria. This has gained some attention, and people shared their thoughts.
Former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mazi Afam Osigwe, speaks on the election and a popular notion that is happening. He shared how some politicians depend on the courts to win their elections instead of the voters (the people).
“A judge once presented a paper called ‘The Judicialisation of the Electoral Process.’ He argued that because of the difficulty of proving non-compliance with the Electoral Act, the courts have gradually and increasingly usurped the role of the voters. I couldn’t agree more.”
“They believe that between polling units and collation centres—especially at night—miracles happen before daybreak. So why vote?” he asked.
