The 2023 Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has clarified that his involvement in the coalition ahead of the 2027 elections is focused on the fight against bad governance, hunger, and poverty, not personal political ambition.
Obi made this known in response to a question from Vanguard regarding reports of an alleged agreement with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to serve as his Vice President in the upcoming 2027 elections.
The report also claimed that Atiku had agreed to serve for only one term and was willing to formalize the agreement in writing.
Speaking at an event in Kubwa, where he donated to a school and hospital project organized by the Anglican Church, Obi neither confirmed nor denied the existence of such an agreement.
Instead, he emphasized his commitment to the coalition’s mission.
