2027: Peter Obi Clarifies, Says He Never Agreed to Be Vice President to Anyon

Obi responded to an alleged misinterpretation of his recent interview in a post using his official X handle.

According to him, a few individuals from the fifth column have adopted propaganda techniques by intentionally altering the narrative.

The ex-governor of Anambra State expressed his reluctance to lose sight of the immediate problems faced by Nigerians, such as hunger, poverty and insecurity, while fixated on planning for 2027.

He stressed his dedication to collaborating with like-minded individuals who aim to enhance Nigeria’s development, affirming that he is not eager for the presidency or any other position; rather, he is resolute in witnessing progress in Nigeria.

While Nigerians suffer from hunger, poverty, insecurity and other pressing challenges, I do not wish to be someone who only focuses on 2027.

I made it clear that I am willing to collaborate with others as long as their motives do not revolve around seizing control of the government. Additionally, I stressed my dedication to teaming up with individuals who are aligned in furthering Nigeria’s development and growth goals.

I reiterated my dediction to the Labour Party and emphasized that anyone interested in forming a partnership must be transparent about their motives.

He stated that in 2027, if he opts to run for public office, it will not be alongside those who have an agenda of capturing the state or solely prioritizing electoral victory. Rather, his focus would be on demanding a comprehensive plan to guarantee educational equity where every child is given equal opportunities and ensuring that millions of youngsters out-of-school are brought back into learning establishments. Apart from this, he emphasized the need for improved health facilities and efforts aimed at uplifting people living below poverty lines.
