Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has assured Nigerians that he will contest in the 2027 general elections.
Obi made this known in Uyo during the OBIDIENT Conference and official declaration for the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
He told supporters that he is ready to run, despite claims that some people in government do not want him on the ballot.
“I will contest the 2027 election, no matter what,” Obi said.
Obi urged Nigerians to join him in rebuilding the country for future generations. According to him, bad governance over the years has created serious economic problems.
He also claimed that the current administration has borrowed heavily, with repayment stretching to 2045 and 2050.
Obi said he left the Labour Party after learning that as long as he remained, the party’s leadership might not be recognized by INEC.
He insisted that election results in 2027 must be transmitted electronically in real time to ensure transparency.
The former Anambra governor promised that if elected, his government will:
*Invest heavily in education
*Improve healthcare
*Reduce poverty
*Fight corruption
Obi said strong investment in education is the key to national development. He also promised to cut corruption by leading with personal integrity.
He recalled that during his time as Anambra governor, he and his family did not take government land for personal use.
The OBIDIENT Movement leaders, including Dr. Tanko Yunusa and Dr. Ben Smith, urged Nigerians to stay united and mobilize ahead of 2027.
They encouraged supporters to work together under the ADC platform to achieve victory.
