Share this article

The Obidient Movement has dismissed claims that Peter Obi is negotiating to be a vice-presidential candidate in the 2027 elections.

National Coordinator Dr. Yunusa Tanko stated that Obi is solely focused on contesting for the presidency and has never entertained the idea of serving as a running mate. He added that the movement has made this position clear publicly.

The clarification comes amid Obi’s recent shift to the ADC and ongoing discussions over opposition alliances ahead of 2027.
