 Peter Obi to Run on Labour Party Platform in 2027, Alleges Government Interference in Opposition Crisis


Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 election, has confirmed his intention to contest the 2027 general election under the LP banner. In a 7-minute, 16-second video circulating on the party’s WhatsApp platform, Obi addressed young supporters, reaffirming his commitment to the Labour Party despite ongoing internal challenges.


Speaking on Saturday, Obi attributed the crises within the LP and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to deliberate interference by the government. “What is happening in the Labour Party and the PDP is caused by the government. Quote me anywhere,” he stated. Drawing from past experience, Obi recalled resolving a similar LP crisis during the administration of late President Umaru Yar’Adua, who intervened to ensure stability. He contrasted this with the current situation, alleging that the government is intentionally destabilizing opposition parties to weaken them.


Obi emphasized the need for strong opposition to ensure a functional democratic system, vowing to address such issues if given the opportunity to lead. “These are some of the things I want to clean up if I have the opportunity. Parties will function very well because you can’t have a system working without a strong opposition,” he said.


The former Anambra State governor urged Nigerian voters, particularly youths, to take responsibility for ensuring their votes count, noting that while political parties may deploy agents to protect their interests, the ultimate power lies with the electorate. He encouraged resilience in the face of resistance from beneficiaries of the current system, assuring supporters that positive change, though challenging, is achievable.


Commenting on his political future, Obi, who will be 65 by the 2027 election, expressed a preference for a retirement age for politicians, stating he would not wish to contest elections in his 70s.
