LunagisthubPeter Obi’s Potential Return to PDP: A Strategic Move for 2027.
Former Borno State Governor, Ali Modu Sheriff, has sparked controversy with his claim that Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, is set to return to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to pursue his presidential ambitions in the 2027 elections. This development comes on the heels of Obi’s recent involvement with the African Democratic Congress (ADC), a coalition aimed at defeating the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 polls.
Sheriff’s assertion that Obi will likely clinch the PDP presidential ticket has raised eyebrows, especially given Obi’s previous defection from the PDP to the Labour Party in 2022. According to Sheriff, Obi’s return to the PDP would position him strongly for the 2027 presidential election, potentially leaving other aspirants like Atiku Abubakar and Rotimi Amaechi in a tough spot .The PDP seems to be open to welcoming Obi back into the fold, with a party member describing him as a “valuable asset.” This potential return could be a strategic move for both Obi and the PDP, as they prepare for the 2027 elections .
While Obi has yet to confirm his plans publicly, his recent comments suggest he’s determined to contest for the presidency. As the political landscape continues to evolve, one thing is certain: the 2027 elections will be closely watched, and Obi’s next move could significantly impact the outcome .
