Former presidential candidate and chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Peter Obi, has alleged that the Federal Government is working to prevent him from participating in the 2027 presidential election.
Obi made the allegation while calling for a transparent and
credible electoral process.
Addressing a group of Nigerians in a video, Obi spoke about
his political journey, reflecting on past challenges.
He noted that he has endured political isolation and legal
battles.
“I have been in this very difficult business where people
abandoned you completely for one election. I spent three years in court and no
one followed me there.
“I have been impeached, returned to my village where no one
wanted to see me, and removed from office twice,” he said.
He added that such experiences have prepared him for future
challenges.
“So there is nothing I will not see again. All these things
being said about me are not new,” he stated.
Obi further claimed that there are efforts by the Federal
Government to stop his presidential ambition in 2027.
“The Federal Government of Nigeria does not want me to
contest in the 2027 presidential election. We are not asking for much. They
already have the governors and ministers; we are only asking for a free and
fair election,” he said.
He also suggested that those in power have greater access to
influential networks.
“They have all the contacts. They know the queen and the
king, while we do not. They have everything,” he added.
