Politics2027: I’m ready to be Vice President If… – Peter Obi

Peter Obi, former Labour Party presidential candidate and ex-governor of Anambra State, has stated his openness to accepting a vice-presidential position if he finds someone more capable of advancing the country than himself.

During a recent interview with New Central TV, which was monitored on YouTube, Obi emphasized that his primary focus is on ensuring Nigeria moves forward in the 2027 general election.

When asked if he would consider being a vice-presidential candidate, Obi said, “Obi said: “Quite frankly, for me, I’m not desperate to be Nigerian president. I am desperate to see Nigeria work. If I see people who can do the work better, I will (consider being Vice President).

“I even have people who say I should not come out in 2027 and I said to them, offer yourself. And we will not put everybody on a scale.”

Obi reaffirmed his loyalty to the Labour Party, though remains open to working with others who share his vision for the country.

L“I will stay with the Labour Party. However, if anyone seeks collaboration or alliance, they must clearly state their objectives. I am not interested in joining forces for political gain or to merely win an election. What matters to me is addressing crucial issues like getting every child into school and tackling the problem of out-of-school children,” Obi explained. |SituationReport|
