A former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has officially confirmed he will be running again during the 2027 elections.

Obi revealed this while speaking during a X Spaces on Sunday night.

The ex-governor of Anambra State, however, insisted he will not be a running mate to anybody.


According to Obi, he has not garnered all the experience he has, only to end up as a vice-president.

“I am not travelling round the world to learn governance to be Vice president,” Obi said.


““I know how to turn Nigeria around. I built my business from scratch and have more experience than any candidate, including the sitting President.

“Peter Obi will be on the ballot in 2027. I need your support. I need your prayers.”

Carry go Obi. It will be an insult for someone with so much experience like you to end up as Vice President. Atiku better support Obi. Remember Obi said he will be rule Nigeria only for a single term. You will then take over from him in 2031. This is simple mathematics

So he's literally giving credence to what we've been saying since. He was clueless on how to govern whilst being a governor. Isn't that just mental? I want to see how his minions spin this one.

You will never find an Indian, Chinese politician making this same statement. It .makes absolutely no sense. This is like saying "let me go and learn how to be a father from my neighbours after claiming to be the best father alive." Or "let me go and learn how to sexually satisfy my wife after claiming to make her cum 20 times in 1 minute after telling the world to go and verify my wife's vagina"

You need to know how to win election first. That's how Nigeria operates. The one that calls himself president knows how to win election but doesn't know how to govern.

I like you obi, but let's be realistic. You have to merge, sacrifice your ambition if possible.

You can't win Tinubu and that's a fact.

You didn't assert enough authority on LP. You didn't hold the party properly. You'll need a strong backbone to help you win this election as you have lost a lot of your followers. You need someone that can do the dirty jobs but that person won't just do that and give you the presidency on a platter to do as you like if he also has ambitions.

"I know how to turn Nigeria around. I built my business from scratch and have more experience than any candidate, including the sitting President".

This is a fact

It is not by spreading lies and propaganda about building Lagos from scratch, nor by grabbing it, snatching it and running away with it, failing catastrophically, and handing the country’s security problems over to Trump to solve thereby violating our sovereignty

Gbam,the okute himself has spoken.

Agbadorians how far

You people are irredeemable. Why did you change your comment? There are more business men that are more successful who built from scratch. Many of our parents also built their businesses from scratch. Does that mean they will be good presidents? Let's kuku vote Dangote or the Davido's dad as president because una logic ehn.....nawa. Let's not forget the role Abacha played in his building from scratch

Please ensure that, you are rallying point of the coalition .
2027 will be interesting.

Story for his gullible supporters. The werey just confirmed that he's not a born leader. He's been learning leadership across the world. No wonder ordinary LP crisis defeated him. Abi shey na fake leadership schools him dey attend?

We prefer him and will vote for him, even a goat will do better than tinubu

Wake up and smell the coffee

2027 is gone.

Anywhere Obi goes Nigerians will follow. He can never vice any politician and still have Nigerians behind him AND HE KNOWS THIS

Just as we followed him in 2023 is the same way MORE PEOPLE will follow him in 2027

We have all jointly suffered under this APCs terrible nightmare for too long

We are solidly behind you Okwute!

Any decision you take, we are solidly behind you.

Our love for you is borne out the conviction that a new Nigeria is POssible.

That new Nigeria is not gonna be achieved by aliens but by the Chosen ones.

Thanks for acknowledging your state of mind. Goodluck in life

Vice or president, you ate your cake after the 2023, so no need of asking about its whereabouts in 2027

At least he will contest in the primaries of ADC.

He is not called OBI the Tsunami, Sarkin Salama, Mai Gaskiya for nothing. Man too popular like water, if na lie ask THIEFNIBU Baban Baban BARAWOO, wetin happen for Lagos and Abuja.

Continue to dream Pete boy...
You will continue to move from one party to another
So is It ADC that you contest under
Will it be Atiku that will now do VP
Selfish bunch of people

Make we hear word jor, shame on you and your MUMU president way another president dey do him job.

This dude is a liar. He already had a deal with Atiku to be his running mate. He will put up a charade of a contest at the ADC primary. After losing to Atiku, the party leadership will plead with him and he will accept to be the running mate in the name of rescuing the country. It’s all planned already and we are waiting for them.

What's the crying for on Monday morning. Hahahaha

Hope you had a good Christmas celebration sha

He is not selfish, he knows his worth. Even THIEFNIBU knew that on a FREE and FAIR election, he can't stand OBI the Tsunami, Sarkin Salama, Mai Gaskiya. If na lie, ask THIEFNIBU him experience in last election, for him bakayard, including him very own State of origin. Him coooooLLecccccct, until EYEneck rig am up. Ask your MUMU President, way another president dey do him job, even him MUMU supporters, are afraid of OBI, man too popular like water, and you know it.

this your analogue, no be here
na die

This man is very funny, you have learned governance, so you be olodo before? Anyway I pity anyone who takes these crop of politicians serious. Both Obi, atiku and Tinubu etc.

If Obi means what he said and not political diversion.

Then he just handed the 2027 to tinubu on a platter.

The silly pride of Igbo man

Congratulations to tinubu

However I still believe that this is a political talk

I am not crying, but always state the fact, that your MUMU President, is really doing badly.

Don't tell me, tell Nigerians which facts you have stated with your mumu comments above

And so. He has a right to be anyone's running mate. Tell your president who outsourced security and tax matters to US and France to wake up to his dute and actually govern instead of playing politics and focusing on election

Anything to remove SW president is a goal for us in SS, SE and north

Your MUMU President couldn't handle insecurity in his country. Another president is doing the job for him. What a MUMU president, with MUMU supporters, that made another president, call NIGERIA, "A disgraced country." Abi na lie?
