2027: ‘We’re doing everything to bring Obi back, he’s great asset’ – Umbrella Party

Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Ibrahim Abdullahi, has said that the party is putting measures in place to bring Peter Obi back to its fold.

 

He described the former Governor of Anambra State as a product of the PDP and a great asset to any political party.

 

According to him, despite rigging and all sorts of manipulation of the electoral process in 2023, the Labour Party presidential candidate was still able to garner over 6 millions votes.

 

In the build-up to the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, a former vice presidential candidate of the PDP, dumped the party for the Labour Party.

 

He got the LP’s sole presidential ticket and  went on to contest the presidential election against the likes Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and PDP’s Atiku Abubakar.

 

Obi won twelve states, including the federal capital territory, FCT, Abuja but came third behind Atiku and the subsequent winner, Tinubu, according to the final results as declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

 

Speaking on Arise News on Thursday night, Abdullahi said that plans are in motion to return Peter Obi to the opposition party.

 

“Peter Obi is our product,  and the PDP indeed wants to get him back. He is a very great capital for any political party, and any political party that will have him will be to their advantage,” he said.

 

“The truth of the matter is if he had not gone the way he did in the last dispensation and proved that mettle to generate over six million in spite of the rigging and frustration of his chances in many of the states. Peter Obi is truly a political capital no doubt about it,” he added.

 

Peter Obi recently claimed that he is still a member of the Labour Party but would work with the newly formed Coalition under the African Democratic Congress.

 

Meanwhile, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who was the presidential candidate of the PDP in the last two general elections, has resigned from the party.

 

Atiku Abubakar is one of leading figures in the coalition of political leaders coming together ahead of the 2027 presidential elections with the aim of removing the incumbent president through the ballots.
