Nigeria 2027: Peter Obi gets cold feet as Obidients reject Atiku’s offer

Obi’s followers bristled at a proposed presidential ticket placing the former Anambra state governor as running mate to Atiku Abubakar, quashing a seemingly done deal.

When the time comes, he will choose a platform on which to contest; at this point, the discussions are based on the interests of the Nigerian people. Yunusa Tanko, Interim National Coordinator, Obidient Movement

Choosing Obi as a presidential candidate based on the ethnic concern will be the best to resolve some national issues “That will be the best thing to happen to the PDP if they field from the South-East. The amalgamation of the PDP and Labour Party will cause a serious political storm in the polity if it is actualized. We need a very strong and viable opposition in the country, because opposition is the opium of any democracy. So, there is an absolute need for opposition. Such a political marriage and understanding is not a bad one.”

Omenazu, who is also the Chancellor of the International Society for Social Justice and Human Rights, added that the Igbos should be given an equal chance to rule Nigeria, noting that such representation was part of the national restructuring the people were clamouring for.

“No matter how we structure this country, the Igbos have the right to the presidency. They should be allowed to do their best. More essentially, there is a need for restructuring. That is the best way we can authoritatively run this country like a united nation,” he added
