2027: I’ll Run As Presidential Candidate – Peter Obi Rejects VP Role by Segunbabba(op): 11:01pm On Feb 02

Peter Obi, a prominent figure within the African Democratic Congress, ADC, has signaled his plan to seek the party’s presidential ticket ahead of the 2027 general elections.

He revealed this ambition while addressing supporters at a campaign event for the ADC candidates in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Area Council elections, which took place at the Abuja Municipal Area Council, AMAC.

In his remarks, Obi made it clear that he is aiming for the top position and would not settle for a subordinate role in the party’s long-term political strategy.

He stressed that the AMAC election is closely tied to his wider political aspirations and called on party faithful and local residents to throw their weight behind the ADC candidate.

According to Obi, success in the AMAC poll would play a crucial role in advancing his political mission, adding that his involvement in the coming elections is as a leading contender and not in a supporting capacity.

“This coming election, support us in AMAC; it will help me. Your support in AMAC is critical to our journey. I am involved and contesting the coming election as number one. When I come back, you will see. I assure you,” Obi said.

Obi’s supporters, particularly members of the Obidient Movement, have intensified pressure on the ADC leadership to adopt him as the party’s standard-bearer for 2027, with many insisting that the ticket should go to Obi alone.

However, the ADC is hosting several other high-profile politicians with presidential ambitions, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi.

But how do you gather support from a very important voting base that wants power NOT later than 2031? This is my only concern for H.E Peter Obi.

Lol. Is that what you were told? Well, Obi has always maintained he's gunning for the number one spot in the ADC. He has also always maintained that whoever wins will be supported by all in the party. The mistake you all keep making is assuming the other candidates have no voting bloc and support base just because they are not garrulous online and make a lot of noise about it. If Obi ends up winning the ADC primaries, will he not be counting on the support and votes of the others within the ADC? Noise is not equivalent to superior numbers and it's hardly a political strategy.

Everybody wants you to run in primary not looking for stepdown freebie

However we know you will lose, so your game plan is to say you all promised to support whoever won a free and fair primary

The perceived bonus would be VP ticket, we are back to the starting point where your nzogbu supporters have been denying

It's like the people pushing Obi to be saying all these unnecessary rubbish want to push him out of ADC. Did anyone say he shouldn't run for president or is he being coerced to accept vice president position? Obidient mobs should take it easy on Peter Obi and not let him run mad.

The possibility of that happening bothers you abi? Whoever ends up winning the ADC primaries, Tinubu will have no pathway to re-election.

Just make sure you actually go out there and cast your vote for Tinubu. Don't think sitting at home and eating Ofe Nsala soup will be enough to ensure that outcome. It won't. You will only be throwing away your political leverage. It will be far better to make it count by voting for Tinubu. It's not the threat you all think it is.

How many obi supporters go take poison to kill headache

They would rather sit their lazy butt at home, the loud mob

Half that are traditional voters before obi existed will vote ADC

No matter what happens he can't leave ADC as it is now

I honestly think it will be a rollercoaster victory for Tinubu in 2027, exactly same scenario that happened in the last election will play out again, so if Atiku refuses to bulge and hammer Obi at ADC primaries with his bottomless dollar pit of money then Obi supporters will turn out in low numbers, so Atiku may likely win in the north and Tinubu will come closely second there, but by the time he clears the SW ,SS and get tidy numbers from the SE then he will get that national spread when all the numbers add up, so with 30 governor's in his bag and a substantial numbers of Senators and Rep members then victory is assured, I predict Tinubu taking 60% , Atiku 20% obi 15% while other candidates like kwankwaso scrap for the rest.

“This coming election, support us in AMAC; it will help me. Your support in AMAC is critical to our journey. I am involved and contesting the coming election as number one. When I come back, you will see. I assure you,” Obi said.

Obi wan test popularity. This is good; this is what I've said many times. You can't call yourself a heavyweight and have no influence in winning elections for your followers and party members. From Edo to Anambra, all the people he backed failed woofully at the polls, the latest being Moghalu at the Anambra governorship election where Obi even lost his PU to the APC.

It's obvious the game is getting real and hot in ADC. He don dey see say "Obi or nothing" blackmail no go work; hence, why he wan use this AMAC election signal strength.

He said, "It will help me!" - either to project strength against Atiku or position him higher for the VP ticket.

In all sha, I think that statement will comeback to hurt Obi. He just gave the APC and Wike every reason to make sure his candidate fail. Reasons being Lagos and Abuja being high priorities for 2027 election and to prove that Obi has lost his mojo.

IF Moses Paul loses, I hope Obi's minors won't come here to say "Obi was not on the ballot".

The thing is was the south east and south south not voting before obi started contesting?

If obi is not even on the ballot at all it's still a plus for Atiku

Atiku just needs like 30% of the same traditional voter base who would not vote Apc

Just like 2Million max to his 6million

I am even generous to the obi mob that says 100% of his voters are first time voters that have never voted for same atiku before
