The 2023 Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has responded to speculation that he may serve as running mate to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar in the 2027 presidential election.

Speaking during a public event in Kubwa, Abuja, where he donated to a school and hospital project run by the Anglican Church, Obi addressed the claims though indirectly.

“You can make of the report what you want, but I’m in a coalition against bad governance, hunger, and poverty,” he stated.

His remarks follow media reports earlier in the day suggesting that Atiku had proposed a power-sharing deal in which Obi would serve as vice president in a joint ticket. The report also claimed Atiku had offered to serve only one term and was open to formalizing the agreement in writing.

The alleged offer reportedly came during a private meeting between both men in the United Kingdom earlier this year. It was also reported that sources close to the discussions, who requested anonymity, claimed that Obi was open to the idea but wanted to consult his core supporters before making a public move.

IgOga:


Now Atiku will likely lose the primary....Don't show your cards in a political game

mrvitalis:
Anyone against this coalition is a Tinubu agent or just plain ignorant

Watch so many politicians take risk to join the coalition

The coalition dont need to win more votes they have the votes what they need are those who can protect their votes

Dalohad:
Peter Obi- 6m standing votes
Atiku- 8m standing votes.


14 million votes in the kitty even before the election.

Kwankwaso should do well to join the coalition or else his Kwankwasiyya movement and NNPP will die off. His core supporters are already decamping in droves, as Ganduje keeps enticing them with his stolen Kano dollars.
