Peter Obi reacts to Atiku’s 2027 ‘last bid’ remark

Peter Obi has responded to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s recent comment that 2027 would be his final attempt at the presidency if he secures the African Democratic Candidate (ADC) ticket.

Speaking on the Naija Unfiltered podcast on Saturday, Obi referred to Atiku as a respected leader and elder brother.

He said, “At this point, we are not at that stage yet. Atiku is my respected leader and my dear elder brother. His statement, I will always say, is a statement of a leader, and look at what he used ‘if’.

“So we can’t say what will happen about tomorrow. I can only tell you I am contesting in the election for the office of the president.”

When asked whether he would honor any agreement reached after party primaries, Obi stated that his decision would depend entirely on the fairness of the process.

“I accept what happens after it if it’s through a transparent process you can call fair and credible. I’ve said it before I left parties because I found the whole process transactional.

“It’s critical that the process through which people come into office is far more fundamental than what they do after,” he stated.

He further stressed the importance of due process in leadership selection, cautioning against bypassing established procedures.

“You cannot jump into the house through the window and start cleaning the house and expect everybody to accept you. The process must be right,” Obi added.
