The 2023 Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has again assured his numerous supporters that he will be on the ballot for the presidency in 2027 and will be willing to do one term in office.

“I have not joined in any form of discussion on joint tickets including with Atiku.

“If there is any form of agreement that will restrict me to 4 years in office, I will comply with the agreement and be ready to leave office by 28th May, 2031,” Obi said.

Speaking on Sunday night, when he appeared on X space to answer questions from his supporters, Obi acknowledged being involved in coalition talks because of his desire to rescue Nigeria from the drift by aligning with all patriotic Nigerians.

According to transcripts from his spokesman, Ibrahim Umar, Obi was quoted as saying, “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 urged Nigerians to see the need to rescue this country with him. “I will bring stability in Nigeria within two years in office. Leaders of Nigeria should sit down in Nigeria and fix Nigeria.”

On the situation in the Labour Party, Obi said they were working round the clock to get the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to endorse the Nenadi Usman-led Labour Party, based on the Supreme Court ruling.

On the rotation of the Presidency between the North and the South, Obi said, “I believe in the rotation of government between North and South. I implemented it in Anambra as a governor”.

Answering questions on President Bola Tinubu’s visit to St Lucia Obi noted that, “In 2 years, Tinubu has not spent one night in any state in Nigeria apart from Lagos, yet he is going to spend 8 nights in St Lucia, a place smaller than Ajegunle.

“St Lucia is about the size of the 10th largest city of Nigeria, Ilorin. President Tinubu has never slept a night in any state of Nigeria outside Lagos since the assumption of office in 2023. PBAT to stay in St Lucia for 10 days.”

On his preparation for the election, the former presidential candidate remarked, “We will do things differently in 2027. We will follow a non-violent approach and insist that the right thing will be done before the result announcement in Abuja. Our votes in 2027 will count, and we will ensure they count.

“Three things to follow up with in the first 100 days – prioritise on security, education and poverty eradication; cut costs and shun corruption. My family will not be involved in corruption. Funds to be channelled into key critical sectors.

“My Presidency will ensure there is a strong opposition in party politics. There will be no defection of elected officials to other parties when I am in charge.

“Imagine in this country, people are dying in Benue, Borno, and other parts of the country, and our leaders are commissioning bus stops and holidaying.

“To bring order in governance, I will prioritise security, education and pulling people out of poverty. To do this is by cutting the cost of governance and fighting corruption from day one.

“My past speaks loudly for me. Wherever there was an issue in Anambra State, I was there physically. Anybody who wants to serve should be ready to put even their life on the line for the lives of Nigerians,” Obi said.

He added that nobody abroad takes a nation without stable government serious.
