The former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi, has explained that his involvement in the coalition ahead of the 2027 elections is to fight against bad governance, hunger, and poverty, not personal political ambition.
Obi made this disclosure in response to a question regarding reports of an alleged agreement with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to serve as his Vice President in the upcoming 2027 elections.
According to the report, Atiku had agreed to serve for only one term and was willing to formalize the agreement in writing.
Speaking at an event in Kubwa, organized by the Anglican Church, Obi neither confirmed nor denied the existence of such an agreement. Instead, he emphasized his commitment to the coalition’s mission.
Obi stated, “You can make the report what you want, but I’m in a coalition against bad governance, hunger, and poverty.”
His remarks underscore his focus on national development and social welfare over political positioning.
