Labour Party’s Peter Obi has denied claims of accepting a vice-presidential offer from Atiku’s camp. He insists his focus remains on uniting Nigerians against poor governance, not political positions or power-sharing arrangements.
- Obi says he’s not desperate for office, only committed to fighting hunger, poverty, and failing infrastructure.
- Media reports alleged Atiku offered Obi the VP slot with a one-term presidency promise ahead of 2027.
- Obi discredits the rumour, calling it part of “selfish political interests” that distract from Nigeria’s real issues.
Speaking during a visit to Anglican bishop Duke Akamisoko in Abuja, Obi reiterated his commitment to Nigeria’s struggling masses. He emphasised that leadership should serve people’s welfare, not the ambitions of political elites. He also supported a school project in the diocese.
As Nigeria’s political landscape shifts ahead of 2027, will voters prioritise coalitions for governance reform over elite political deals?
