Obi Declares: All Forces Against My 2027 Goals Will Fail

Peter Obi, a former governor of Anambra State and the Nigeria Democratic Congress’s (NDC) presidential candidate, has claimed that the Federal Government is attempting to keep him from running in the 2027 presidential election, but he is confident that such attempts will fail.

Obi said these things during a speech at Madonna University in Okija, Anambra State.

He said;

“If I tell you about what I am going through today, I won’t be here. Today, everything is being done to ensure that Peter Obi won’t be on the ballot next year.

“But I tell you, they won’t succeed. We are determined because if you live where there is no obstacle, then you don’t have the political will to change the society. It is the obstacle that strengthens leaders.

“I know that for me to get there, I must surmount obstacles. Things will be difficult, but determination is what will take us there. The important thing is for me to reach my destination.”

“If you don’t vote, you are hurting your future.”

“I am contesting the presidential election not because I am an Igbo man, but because I am competent. Of all those contesting for president, I am the most qualified.”

“I challenge any of them to a debate to say what they want to do for this country, including the incumbent president. I want to change Nigeria.”

Let’s give Obi the space he needs to pursue his ambitions without unnecessary interference. Everyone deserves a fair chance to try again and prove themselves. So, let’s leave Obi alone, support his efforts, and wish him the best of luck as he strives to achieve his goals once more
