During a news conference on the state of the country in Abuja on Thursday morning, the former governor of Anambra State made this statement.

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) 2023 presidential candidate, claims that no merger agreement has been reached with the PDP, the NNPP, or any other party ahead of the 2027 election.

During a news conference on the state of the country in Abuja on Thursday morning, the former governor of Anambra State made this statement.

There is currently no agreement in place with other parties, he added. In 2027, he called for all Nigerians who cared about the country to unite and oppose the All Progressives Congress (APC), which he claimed was mishandling the nation’s riches.

Obi also called the nation’s security condition regrettable, claiming that kidnapping-for-ransom, terrorism, and banditry cause unnecessary deaths among Nigerians.

He claimed that under President Bola Tinubu of the APC, Nigeria’s level of corruption and the expense of governance have both remained high, resulting in an unimaginable rise in the country’s national debt.

Obi said that through frequent international travel in 2024, government officials knowingly misappropriated public cash.

In the 2023 presidential election, Tinubu won the most votes (8,794,726), about two million more than his closest opponent, PDP candidate Atiku Abubakar, after winning in 12 of Nigeria’s 36 states and garnering sizable numbers in a number of additional states.

Six-time presidential candidate Atiku received 6,984,520 votes, while first-time candidate Obi received an astonishing 6,101,533. Former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of the NNPP claimed victory in his home state of Kano, finishing fourth. His vote total was 1,496,687.

Remarkably, Obi and Kwankwaso were PDP members months prior to the most recent election, but they left the party due to irreconcilable differences.
