2027 election is between Nigerians, Tinubu administration — Peter Obi

Why state police implementation should be postponed – Peter Obi

Former Anambra State governor and Nigerian Democratic Congress presidential candidate,
Peter Obi, has said the 2027 general election will be a contest between Nigerians and the administration of President Bola Tinubu.

Obi made the statement while reiterating his claim that he won the 2023 presidential election but that the outcome was manipulated.

In a video circulating online, the former governor argued that Nigeria is facing a leadership deficit and called for a change in the country’s direction.

He said: “You know that I won that election and it was rigged but that is not a problem. It’s my believe that the next election is between Nigerians and the government in office because the public has had enough and they are determined that things have to change.

“We have sacrificed everything and it’s not working. It’s time to understand that one thing is missing, which is leadership.

“Nigerians will decide, so they will be the ones to say what is happening and I believe that they have learnt their lessons and they will find a way.

“For me, the desperation is to see Nigeria work. I’m not desperate to be president but I want to create a society where the children of Nigerians will have hope, where a child of a nobody can be anybody without anything. So for me, it’s important and we must make it work because we have had enough.”
