2027: Step Down For Peter Obi, Obidients Beg Goodluck Jonathan by Masterstroke4(op): 4:36am On Sep 13, 2025

OBIdients (supporters of Peter Obi) have appealed to former President Goodluck Jonathan to support their principal instead of contesting against him in the 2027 presidential election.

This comes after Obi and Jonathan held a closed-door meeting on Thursday.

Obi posted pictures of himself and the former president on his X handle, describing Jonathan as “a very dear elder brother, statesman, and leader”. He added that their discussion centred on the state of the nation.

Although it is being speculated that he will contest the 2027 presidential election, Jonathan has yet to make a public pronouncement on the issue.

OBIdients have, however, urged the former President to step aside for Obi in the interest of fairness and national progress.

The National Coordinator of the OBIdient Movement, Dr Yunusa Tanko, said while both men are respected leaders, Obi remains the preferred choice of millions of Nigerians seeking a new direction.

“They have been friends for a long time. The meeting was for them to fraternise and discuss how to rescue Nigeria. But for us in the Obidient Movement, it would be great if Jonathan remains the respected statesman he is known for. He has done his best as President, he is respected, and this is the time for him to support his brother,” Tanko said.

If it comes to that, I mean once Jonathan declares I'll pitch my tent to his camp. He has a better chance to win that 'thing' in Aso rock than any other southerner.

If Peter Obi is that much popular according to his supporters, why are they begging Jonathan to stepped down for him?

As GEJ even show Interest in contesting the 2027 election?

Hahahaha

una never finish with the insults? Una eyes go soon clear, their is a thin line between politics and noise-making, the more noise you make, you loose relevance.

Dear Obidient noise-makers, online noise and bully can't win elections or loyalty in politics, you people should learn to be strategic and sale your candidate without bullying people.

This is wrong. A Court of competent jurisdiction has settled this.
The law is not retroactive.
He is eligible to vie and complete one term only, if he intends to.
I doubt he will though....
