I Won’t Be Anyone’s Running Mate in 2027 — Peter Obi
Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has declared that he will not serve as a running mate to any presidential aspirant in the 2027 general election, insisting that his ambition is to contest as president.
Obi made the declaration on Sunday night during an X Spaces conversation, where he spoke extensively on his political future, leadership vision, and preparedness to govern Nigeria.

The former Anambra State governor stressed that he had acquired sufficient experience in both the private sector and public service, making it unnecessary for him to seek the position of Vice President.
“I am not travelling round the world to learn governance to be Vice President,” Obi said.
He expressed confidence in his ability to lead the country, stating that he possesses the knowledge and competence required 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 and your prayers,” he added.
Obi’s declaration is expected to shape conversations ahead of the 2027 presidential election, particularly within the Labour Party and among his supporters nationwide.
