Former Borno State Governor, Ali Modu Sheriff, has declared that the 2027 presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, would not remain in any political party that refuses to present him as its presidential flagbearer.

Sheriff made the assertion on Monday while speaking during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

According to the former governor, Obi would leave any political platform that denies him the opportunity to contest for the presidency.

He maintained that the former Anambra State governor is focused on pursuing a specific political objective.

Sheriff argued that Obi’s political decisions are guided by a clear agenda, suggesting that remaining in a party without securing its presidential ticket would not align with his ambitions.

He said: “The point is that he, Peter Obi, is a candidate and the last time you invited me here I told you that people like Peter Obi can never be in one political party because he is pursuing an agenda.

“If he can’t be a presidential candidate he would move out. Today he has gone to like 20 political parties to become a candidate.

“If I, Ali Modu Sheriff, will come out here and say that I only believe in Borno State and not Nigeria then I’m not fit to be Nigerian because our leaders have fought to keep us together.”
