Segun Sowunmi, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader, claims that former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi would not provide a serious challenge to President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.
Sowunmi claimed this on Thursday while answering questions during an appearance on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’.
He said, “The people sitting in authority at the governor’s level in the Southeast were not that inspirational. You have to go back and look at the people sitting there now.

“Some of them are delivering on values and assignments. If they are inspirational leaders, none of them can Obi run over just like that. It’s not as easy as that.
“We created that movement believing that we should be able to tour that glass ceiling so that our Southeast brothers can get it done.
“Unfortunately, his inability to tame the excessive bigotry and the anger and the quarrel made a lot of people to push back.”
His comments come as tensions rise ahead of the next presidential elections.
