The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has admitted that it is making efforts to bring back Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, into its party. 

This was made known by the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Ibrahim Abdullahi. He described Obi as a valuable political asset capable of boosting the party’s electoral chances if reunited with the platform. 
 

Speaking on Arise Television, Abdullahi praised Obi’s performance in the 2023 elections, where he garnered over six million votes across the country, despite what he described as “massive rigging” and “deliberate frustration” of his chances in many states. 

“Peter Obi is our product. We want to get him back, indeed, because he is a very, very great capital for any political party,” Abdullahi said. 

“If he had not gone the way he did in the last dispensation and had not faced the institutional obstacles that were placed in his path, we are confident he would have performed even better. That he was still able to command over six million votes shows he is not a candidate to ignore.” 
 

Abdullahi admitted that Obi’s decision to leave the PDP for Labour Party was a major setback for the party at the time, but said his exit did not diminish the respect and recognition he still commands within the PDP family.
“Every political party that gets the opportunity to have him will be at an advantage. And certainly, PDP is not giving up on that effort,” Abdullahi added. 

He stated that the PDP is currently engaged in ongoing internal consultations and long-term strategic planning aimed at unifying opposition voices ahead of the 2027 general elections, and bringing Obi back is part of that wider calculation. 

“In the fullness of time, we believe we might get him back. It will be a big boost to the PDP,” he said.

He should not go back to PDP, leave those people who feels it's their Birth-Right

As it is now their chest is no longer beating like before, because they can see strong opposition. With Obi and Atiku , the force is too much

They turn PDP to Fuji House of Commotion!
The same people want Obi so that they would use him to divide the votes and APC would win, just like what happened in 2023

Yes o, he should swap to ADC, PDP with court cases are like 5&6 because of those who sees PDP as their Birth-Right

With those people in PDP, one can easily have miscarriage with 5 months pregnancy

Atiku leaves PDP, Peter Obi goes to PDP, how exactly will that change things?

Clearly people are working for President Tinubu in these other parties. A shame as we need a strong opposition in Nigeria.

If PDP van do it it will be good for them but let me tell you if this INEC chairman remain in power in 2027 all you are doing will be in vain, what happened in 2023 will repeat itself, God forbid.
