2027 presidential ticket is not a do or die affair to me– Obi declares
By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
Labour Party presidential flagbearer in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, has said that he did not exhibit any sign of desperation to make the leadership of the party believe he craves a ‘free ticket’ or ‘special treatment’ ahead of the 2027 election.
Obi, who spoke through his media aide, Ibrahim Umar, was reacting to a recent interview where the National Publicity Secretary of the LP, Obiora Ifoh, denied that the party was planning to field Obi, Abia State Governor Alex Otti and some 2023 candidates in the next poll.
The rebuttal comes a few days after the factional National Publicity Secretary of the party, Abayomi Arabambi, announced that the LP would field the former Anambra State governor to stop President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid.
When contacted to clarify if LP is truly planning to field Obi in 2027, the National Publicity Secretary of LP, Obiora Ifoh, debunked it.
While indicating that the narrative was flawed, Ifoh told our reporter that the report couldn’t have emanated from the Julius Abure camp.
However, when asked how Obi was taking the ‘no automatic ticket’ threat by Abure, Umar said his principal did not bother himself with such trivialities.
He said, “Our principal, Peter Obi, remains steadfast in his commitment to democracy and the well-being of all Nigerians. He has consistently championed the importance of good democracy, and healthy competition, recognizing that these elements are essential for a thriving democratic setting.
“It is crucial to note that Peter Obi has never sought a free ticket or special treatment. Instead, he has always emphasised the need for a level playing field, where individuals can compete fairly and freely. We urge our supporters and the general public to stay focused on the issues that truly matter, rather than being swayed by misinformed narratives.
“Peter Obi’s dedication to promoting good governance, economic growth, and social justice remains unwavering. Let’s work together to build a brighter future for Nigeria, one that is guided by the principles of democracy, fairness, and equality.
“Our principal’s actions and decisions will continue to be driven by these values, ensuring that Nigeria remains on a path towards prosperity and greatness.”
The absence of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC has put a clog into the ongoing Peoples Democratic Party PDP in Ibadan as chairman of the confab, Governor of Adamawa state ,Ahmadu Fintri extricate self.
The National Convention Chairman, Ahmadu Fintiri had declared that “with the absence of INEC, it is not within my prerogative to continue with this exercise, I leave the delegates to decide”
This major irregularity could nullify the whole exercise.
