Former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bode George, has asserted that Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, stands no chance of defeating Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections without the support of the PDP.
George argued that the Labour Party lacks the necessary national infrastructure to challenge the All Progressives Congress (APC) effectively.
He emphasised that only the PDP has the strength, grassroots support, and reach needed to take on the APC and secure victory in 2027—provided the party leadership upholds principles of fairness, justice, and equity.

“I have nothing personal against Obi. He is from the South, but the fact remains that the Labour Party does not have the national structure to match Tinubu and the APC in 2027,” George stated.
“The only party with the depth, support base, and capacity to defeat the APC is the PDP. And while some may think Tinubu’s re-election will be smooth sailing, I believe he can be defeated in 2027, but this can only happen if the PDP leadership ensures fairness, justice, and equity within the party.”
George also made an impassioned plea to Nyesom Wike, urging the Rivers State Governor to reconsider his opposition to the PDP and work together to help rebuild the nation.
Furthermore, he took aim at the Federal Government’s increasing interference in state politics, warning that such actions could exacerbate national insecurity if left unchecked.
