I’ll contest 2027 presidential election, even if it’s held in bedroom, says Obi
Former governor of Anambra, Peter Obi, has maintained that he will contest the 2027 presidential election regardless of alleged attempts to stop his candidacy.
Obi disclosed this at the OBIDIENT Conference and official declaration for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state.
He said he left the Labour Party (LP) after being informed that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) would not recognise its leadership as long as he remained in the party.
“I left LP when I got informed that as long as I remain in the party, INEC will not recognise its leadership, that the federal government doesn’t want me on the ballot.
“I want to assure you that I will contest the coming election even if it is held in their bedroom, and if they don’t want to transmit the results, we will transmit them for them,” he said.
“The current administration has collected more loans than every other administration, and most of these loans will be repaid from 2045 to 2050 when most of the people who plunged the country into this indebtedness are no more,” Obi said.
He said his administration would prioritise investment in education and healthcare, adding that sustainable development depends on human capital.
“When I became governor of Anambra, I advised my wife to forget about the Office of First Lady because we were not elected together.
“I approved over 100 Certificates of Occupancy on government land, but had none for myself or family. If you find any, petition me to the appropriate authority.”
