Obi Dismisses Concerns Over Jonathan’s Possible 2027 Bid

Peter Obi says he is not concerned about reports suggesting former President Goodluck Jonathan may join the 2027 presidential race.

The former Anambra State governor spoke on Tuesday after undergoing screening by the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.

Obi, who was the Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election, said democracy allows qualified citizens to contest for office and insisted his focus remains on providing credible leadership for Nigeria.
