Former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi has cleared the air on reports that he may return to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Former Borno State Governor, Ali Modu Sheriff, revealed that Obi is reportedly set to return to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to clinch its presidential ticket.
According to the former PDP national chairman, Peter Obi may soon leave the Labour Party and return to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to run for president in 2027.
He claimed that Obi is likely to contest the next presidential election under the PDP platform.
He said: “The information available to me is that at any moment from now, Peter Obi will return to the PDP and run as a presidential candidate under the PDP.”
Reacting, Obi said there is no such plan.
Obi, who is currently working with the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in a political alliance, said his focus is still on building a better Nigeria through that coalition.
He stated that he has no plan to return to the PDP or any other political group that does not fully share the vision and values of the movement he belongs to.
He explained that what Nigeria needs now is not political drama or old tactics, but honest efforts to bring people together and move the country forward.
He urged members of the Labour Party and others in the alliance to stay focused and continue working for change.
Obi is on the fence and yet to decide where the pendulum will swing.
