Yunusa Tanko, the National Coordinator of Obidient Movement,
on Saturday said former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi may run for the 2027
presidency on the platform of the Labour Party, LP.
Tanko said Obi while speaking at an event in Abuja said he
would run for the presidency under LP “for now.”
Tanko assured that Obi is still a member of the Labour
Party.
He said: “He spoke at a coffee party in Abuja where he was
asked if he will still run under the Labour Party and he said he’s still a
member and will run under the party ‘for now,’ he put it under a caveat for
now.”
This comes as Obi affirmed that he is still a member of the
LP and would continue to run on the platform of the party.
Obi is currently involved in the formation of a coalition
that would wrest power from President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
The opposition coalition is spearheaded by former Vice
President Atiku Abubakar, Obi, former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai and
other opposition stakeholders.
In their push to birth the coalition, the trio and other
stakeholders met on Tuesday night to finalize the modalities for the official
unveiling of the coalition.
