Peoples Democratic Party chieftain, Dan Ulasi, has said he would welcome the return of former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to the PDP ahead of the 2027 general election.

Speaking on Arise Television on Friday, Ulasi argued that Obi’s credibility and popularity would strengthen the party’s chances.

I’ll be happy if he joins PDP because he will bring his credibility to bear on the party as we are reorganising. Any party that has him today will know they already have more than 30 to 40 per cent of the election because he has tremendous support across this country,” he said.

Ulasi added that Obi’s political future remained uncertain. If there is honesty, they should micro-zone it to the South-East because virtually now we are the only zone, theoretically speaking, that has not had a presidency,” he said.

The PDP stalwart further disclosed that the party was focused on rebuilding itself ahead of the polls.

In the last national executive meeting we had, almost seven of our governors were there. It was refreshing that everybody is now talking about how to reorganise the party and put it on a stronger footing for 2027 and other elections, he added.

Obi, who served as Governor of Anambra State between 2006 and 2014, was the PDP’s vice-presidential candidate in 2019.

He defected from the party in May 2022 after withdrawing from its presidential primary and later emerged as the Labour Party’s candidate.

His campaign, popularly known as the “Obidient Movement, galvanised significant youth support and disrupted the traditional two-party contest in the 2023 elections, where he finished third behind Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress and Atiku Abubakar of the PDP.

To the best of my knowledge, Peter Obi has no platform. He ran last time with Labour Party, he has attended the launching of ADC. I don’t know what his platform will be,” he noted.

On zoning, Ulasi called for fairness in selecting the 2027 ticket. He said the PDP has zoned the presidency to the South and urged that it be “micro-zoned” especially to the South-East, which he argued is the only region that has not yet produced a Nigerian president.

Pure undiluted truth. Peter is the new face of Nigeria and we must do our best to get him into power to reform Nigeria

10 million votes guaranteed in his pocket, no matter which party Nigerians see him in.

Maybe seun will add one more vote for Obi

Thank God I am not an Agbero union member so I shall comment.

This guy is batting for a Peter Obí return and that's OK, Owelle was the beautiful bride in Nigerian politics once upon a time, now it is Peter Obi's turn, let's hope things turn out differently.

For me Peter Obi guarantees about 2 million votes, max. The down side is he guarantees minimum 5 million votes to President Tinubu due to his Obidients behaviour.

I am not in that 5 million anyway as I am neutral. And yes, I know what will crawl out from under his rock to challenge that assertion in 3, 2, 1..
