I Will Run For President, Not Atiku’s Running Mate In 2027 ------ Obi

The 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate and former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, says he will run for president in 2027 and would not be anybody's running mate, dismissing speculation that he could be the vice presidential candidate to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
Obi stated this during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, on Sunday.
His words, “I’m going to contest for the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and I believe I am qualified for it.
“People assume so many things. Nobody has ever discussed with me whether I am going to be A or B or C.”
Responding to rumours that he may pair up with Atiku of the Peoples Democratic Party, Obi said, “This is not in play; nobody has ever discussed that."
He also reaffirmed his loyalty to the Labour Party, saying he remains a vibrant member of the party, adding that he was also involved in a broader opposition coalition, including the African Democratic Congress, aimed at unseating President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
