Tanko Says Peter Obi Could Win Nigeria’s Presidency in 2027

Political analyst Tanko expresses confidence that Peter Obi has a strong chance to become Nigeria’s president in 2027. Explore his reasoning and the potential factors that could shape Obi’s path to victory.

Yunusa Tanko, the National Coordinator of the “Obidient Movement,” has confirmed that there is a possibility for Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 candidate, to become Nigeria’s president in 2027.

Tanko also commented that electoral fraud during the 2023 election prevented Obi from winning, and he emphasized that a “new Nigeria” could emerge if citizens choose the right leaders.

He delivered this statement during a one-day symposium titled “Repositioning the Obidient Movement for Greater Impact,” organized by the ‘Obidient’ Movement and Anambra State Support Groups at All Saints Cathedral Auditorium in Onitsha, Anambra State, on Saturday.

Tanko stated that they are committed to enhancing good governance and accountability by convening key stakeholders to deliberate on Nigeria’s future. This event highlights the movement’s dedication to unity, justice, and equity.

If we organize effectively, Obi could become president in 2027. We’ll ensure our agents are thoroughly prepared well ahead of the 2027 general election through comprehensive training and retraining programs.

A better Nigeria is achievable if we begin making informed choices when electing our leaders. We are committed to ending bad governance by ensuring the election of suitable individuals. In the 2023 general elections, despite accusations of lacking structure, Peter Obi won but was denied success due to electoral malpractice. This time around, history will not repeat itself.

The current government has even left the North feeling discontented. We are committed to pushing for electoral reform through legal and physical avenues. We’ll rally our supporters both in public demonstrations and courtrooms, while also submitting our proposals to the National Assembly. The Obidient Movement is dedicated to empowering Nigerian youths by advocating for significant change and accountability. Our mission aligns with the goals of promoting good governance, justice, and equity.
