Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi, has declared his readiness to contest in the 2027 polls, assuring Nigerians that he will bring stability to Nigeria within two years if elected president.
Speaking on Sunday night during an X (formerly Twitter) space session with his supporters, Obi said, “I will bring stability to Nigeria within two years in office. Leaders of Nigeria should sit down in Nigeria and fix Nigeria.”
The former Anambra State governor also restated his belief in the principle of power rotation, noting, “I believe in the rotation of government between North and South. I implemented it in Anambra as a governor.”
Addressing the situation within the Labour Party, Obi said efforts are ongoing to get the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognise the Nenadi Usman-led leadership of the party in line with a Supreme Court ruling.
On the possibility of a coalition ahead of the 2027 elections, he clarified that any alliance must be geared towards rescuing the nation.
“If the coalition is not about stopping the killings in Benue, Zamfara, how to revive our economy, how to make our industries productive, how to put food on the tables of Nigerians… Count me out. Nigeria is currently at war. We need to do something about it,” he said.
