Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP)
in the 2023 elections, says he is only interested in a coalition against “bad
governance”.
Obi spoke on Monday during a visit to Duke Akamisoko, bishop
of the Anglican diocese of Kubwa in Abuja.
“The only coalition I am interested in is the one against
hunger, poverty, and the bad state of healthcare and education in the country.
I am not desperate for any position,” Channels TV quoted Obi as saying.
Recently, talks on a coalition to wrest federal control from
the All Progressives Congress (APC) have dominated mainstream political
debates.
Opposition politicians have also been holding series of
“strategic meetings” to actualise the plan.
His comments come in light of reports suggesting an alleged
agreement with Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP), to serve as his running mate in the next general elections.
The report also claimed that Atiku had purportedly agreed to
serve for just one term and was open to formalising this agreement in writing.
However, Obi dismissed the reports, saying those making such
claims were promoting “selfish political interests” that do not benefit the
country.
The former Anambra governor also donated to a school project
in the diocese.
