Peter Obi declares 2027 presidential ambition, to serve only one term.

Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has confirmed his intention to run for the presidency in 2027 under the same platform, expressing his willingness to serve for one term, potentially leaving office by May 28, 2031, if there's an agreement restricting him to four years. 

He reiterated his commitment to rescuing Nigeria from its current challenges and aligning with patriotic Nigerians to achieve this goal, emphasizing that his presidential ambitions are built around prioritizing security, education, and poverty eradication, while cutting governance costs and fighting corruption.

The former governor of Anambra State stressed the need for a strong opposition in party politics and vowed to prevent defections of elected officials to other parties if elected president.

Criticizing President Tinubu's recent trip to St Lucia, noting that the president has not spent a night in any Nigerian state outside Lagos since taking office, Obi urged Nigerians to take ownership of electoral integrity, emphasizing that votes only count only when voters defend them.

He also assured that he remains committed to the Labour Party, despite internal rifts, and he intends to rally the youth for a better Nigeria.
