Peter Obi Declares Stand Against Bad Governance Ahead of 2027, Breaks Silence on Atiku Deal

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) 2023 presidential candidate, has stated that his participation in the alliance in advance of the 2027 elections is centered on the battle against poverty, hunger, and poor governance.
Peter Obi stated this in response to a query about rumors that he had reached a one-term agreement with Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) 2023 presidential nominee, to become his vice president in the 2027 elections.

Punch was informed by several sources that the proposition was presented at a meeting between Atiku and Obi in the UK earlier this year.
According to the insiders, Obi has accepted to be the former vice president’s running partner, and Atiku has pledged to serve a single four-year term.

According to a party chieftain, Atiku and Obi have reached a consensus and are currently consulting their supporters.

Peter Obi reaffirmed his dedication to the coalition’s goal.

“You can interpret the report however you like, but I am part of a coalition that fights poverty, hunger, and poor governance,” he stated.
