“I’m going to contest for the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and I believe I am qualified for it''

 

When asked whether he was considering becoming the running mate to Atiku, in the 2027 election, Obi said

“This is not in play; nobody has ever discussed that. People assume so many things. Nobody has ever discussed with me whether I am going to be A or B or C.”

 

The former Anambra State governor stressed that he remains a vibrant member of the Labour Party though he is an active member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition adopted by the opposition to unseat President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who is eyeing a second term of four years in office in 2027.

 

“I am part of the coalition which will be able to produce a president with the capacity and compassion to save this country,” he said
