2027 BATTLE!!! Obi Takes Nigerians By Surprise, Speaks On ‘Running With El- Rufai’, See His Words
Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate for the 2023 elections, reiterated his unwavering commitment to fostering peace and unity within the party amidst the prevailing challenges rather than contemplating departure.
Speaking in Gombe after inaugurating a borehole generously donated to Tike Ram Market in Pantami, Gombe State, Obi addressed swirling rumors regarding his purported exit from the party, affirming his dedication to its internal harmony and collective resolution of ongoing issues.
Dismissing speculations about his departure, Obi stressed his deep- rooted belief in the LP’s capacity to overcome its present hurdles and emerge stronger, underlining the paramount importance of unity and concerted efforts in navigating through adversity.
Responding to speculation about a potential joint candidacy with former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El- Rufai, in the 2027 presidential elections, Obi redirected the focus to the current welfare of Nigerians, emphasizing his primary concern for the nation’s immediate challenges over future political aspirations.
Elucidating the rationale behind his borehole donation, the former Anambra governor cited his Ramadan- inspired outreach to vulnerable communities as a testament to his commitment to supporting Nigerians, particularly the marginalized, in mitigating the adverse effects of prevailing socio-economic challenges.
Obi underscored the imperative of addressing the fundamental needs of communities, exemplified by his intervention in Pantami market, which despite its bustling activity, lacked access to potable water, thereby necessitating urgent intervention to alleviate the plight of its inhabitants.
While conjecture persisted regarding Obi’ s potential exploration of alternative political platforms despite being assured of the LP’ s 2027 presidential ticket, the spokesperson for the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), Benson Upah, affirmed Obi’s prerogative to choose, indicating the party’s acceptance of his decision, should he opt to depart. Upah acknowledged Obi’ s invaluable contribution to the LP and expressed confidence in his continued relevance irrespective of his political trajectory.
In sum, Obi’ s steadfast commitment to fostering peace within the LP, coupled with his altruistic endeavors to address the pressing needs of disadvantaged communities, underscores his unwavering
dedication to advancing the welfare of Nigerians and underscores his enduring significance in the political landscape, regardless of future permutations.
