Peter Obi, former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has alleged that the Federal Government is making moves to stop him from contesting in the 2027 presidential election. He made this known during a live interview on Magic FM in Aba. The session lasted about an hour. Obi spoke on politics, governance, and his future plans.

According to him, there are clear signs that those in power do not want him on the ballot. He said the government is focused on blocking his chances across political platforms. The present government is bent on making sure I am not a candidate for any party,” he said.

Obi insisted that he remains one of the most qualified individuals seeking to lead the country. He pointed to his background in business and public service. He said Nigeria needs leaders with real experience, especially at a time of economic hardship.

He also took a swipe at the country’s electoral system. He criticised the recently amended Electoral Law signed by President Bola Tinubu. Obi described the development as worrying. It is very shameful for Nigeria that the new Electoral Laws assented to by the President excluded forgery as a crime,” Obi said.

The former Anambra State governor warned that weakening electoral laws could damage public trust. He said credible elections are key to national stability. He added that any law that appears to protect wrongdoing sends a wrong signal to Nigerians.

Obi further spoke on the current economic situation. He said the country is struggling under poor leadership decisions. According to him, Nigeria needs a shift towards competence and accountability. He stressed that governance should focus on production, not consumption.

However, he maintained that despite the challenges, he remains committed to offering himself for service. He said Nigerians deserve better leadership and a clear direction for growth.

Hahaha eze finishing of agulu village Mr peter obi is looking for an excuse to run away from ADC because of primary election

Peter be desperately trying hard to attach importance to himself.

The FG blocking your presidential bid? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Like, for real!

The wicked runs when no one is chasing him. Peter Obi, the agulu fraudster, you are just afraid of your own shadow.

This fraud PO will be finally disgraced in the primaries 😁😁😁 He will then escape to an unknown party and buy up the NEC of that party.. meanwhile , the headless mob will run m**d ...🤐🤐😄😄

I don't know why reading this cracked me up. He is adding paranoia to his repertoire (lies, deception, hypocrisy, tribalism, disloyalty etc).

Precisely. The cowardly Obi is preparing to take flight again as he did before the PDP Primaries in 2022 to avoid facing his Fulani overlords of Atiku, Tambuwal etal,

He is simply looking to blame "Government" for his lack of bravery to stand his ground and face his real enemies in ADC.

Obi shouldn't have left Labour Party, he's in a very bad position right now.
He will eventually join NNPP if Kwakwanso agree to deputise him.
His rude Obidients may mess that space again as they are currently doing in ADC.
Even Kwakwanso has no business joining ADC except he's sure of 2031 by which time Atiku would have retired, so he can inherit the Party.
But for now ADC=ATIKU
I don't see an Obi defeating Atiku if the ticket goes into primary as it seems certain now.

This fraud appears unable to compete effectively with his fellow aspirants within the party, and is now shifting the blame to the government, likely to incite his supporters into directing insults at public officials.

He would be better off identifying a party without a presidential contender, especially since his followers claim he possesses the influence to revive any platform.

Tell me one fraud..

Adexvivacity:
Whosoever advised Obi to join that ADC must be a mad man 😂😂😂. He knew the person that made him to run away from PDP which is Atiku is in ADC and he still went there. What is he thinking? This guy should be selling spare parts and not in politics.

Do you think you know how to calculate in politics?
Smh

Excuses, excuses and more excuses. Tinubu chased you from APGA to PDP and then LP before chasing you to ADC. Dude, take responsibility for your political failures and stop looking for who to blame all over the place.

Serious presidential candidate will take the pain to build a political platform for their aspiration. Atiku owns ADC and he will pick the party’s presidential ticket. This has nothing to do with Tinubu. Put in the work and stop crying all over the place. Nobody will gift you their platform. Build your own.

Ant claiming to be a mouse. A very Weak man indeed.

That's the sound of a failure smelling the inevitable defeat ahead of time

Hahahah, na gimmick.

ADC are currently talking about consensus, Obi knew what he got himself into but his supporters are not carried along.

This excuse would be the reason he would use to opt out from the presidency after ADC might have announced their consensus candidate

Is it federal government or Atiku that is blocking your presidential bid.

You know the truth obi.

tinubu is dead scared of PO. tinubu has not lost in lagos for almost 3 decade but he did to PO in 2023 since then he's doing everything humanly and spiritually illegal not to compete with PO in next year's election.

Are they supposed to make a him a president? I don't understand

Once he partakes in the ADC primary election, he can't partake in any other primary election again in another Party

Presidential Elections don't start and end in one state.

What stopped you all these years from forming your own party? A man who can not build anything can not help Nigeria. You are not different from the other Nigerian useless politicians, including Tinubu

I don't understand how he feels Atiku will hand him the Presidential ticked of the ADC. He should have gone to an Unknown party like the former governor of Bayelsa state who went to the NDC

Parachoko:

True that.

But the lose of lagos messed with tinubu's psyche that PO has become a nightmare to him.

The joke is on you if you think a lightweight like Obi whose candidates have been losing numerous election is a nightmare to The President Of The Federal Republic Of Nigeria.


Peter Obi Will Never Become The President Of Nigeria

You don't need to be a expert at reading the Nigerian political scene to know Peter Obi is spot on in his assessment! Knowing the Tinubu gangsterised and mafioso brand of politics and the way his e-thugs on this forum are obsessed over anything Peter Obi, someone they claim is 'irrelevant and came 3rd', all this shouldn't really come as a surprise should it!? Even a kid can tell Tinubu doesn't want any credible opposition in 2027, and this is reflected in how his thugs have infiltrated all major opposition political parties to cause 'factionalisation' and katakata, after which they then use their control of INEC and the judiciary to swing decisions in favour of the moles and 5th-columnists they planted! Of all the potential candidates looking to kick Tinubu out in 2027, how come it's mainly Peter Obi that occupies their time!? Also, notice how, once he defected from LP to ADC, quiet and calm returned to LP while ADC now became the 'factionalised' one! Join the dots and the bigger picture will begin to emerge!

Is not very obvious that tinubu is very scared of Peter Obi the political bulldozer


A new Nigeria is POSSIBLE.

Master plotter strategist founder of Lagos who tamed the Atlantic ocean. Emilokan, Nigerians have rejected you, the gods have refused your sacrifice angry

Has ADC concluded its primaries?

Atiku/ Obi

This is the winning ticket

Obidients must align with reality.. anything aside this is a ticket to tinubu for a third term

Very soon, this anyhow him tu lie will accuse the FG of not being able to have an ere.ction. Already stylishly preparing his dumb minions for his expected failed bid to get a presidential ticket due to his lack of intelligence and foresight.

Man up for once and take responsibility for something, anything at all, you this effeminate gbajue
