Former Borno State governor, Ali Modu Sheriff, has claimed that Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate Peter Obi will not remain in any political party that fails to make him its presidential flagbearer.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday, Sheriff argued that Obi is driven by a personal agenda and has a history of switching parties to secure candidacy.
“The point is that he, Peter Obi, is a candidate. People like him can never stay 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,” Sheriff said.He added that leaders must demonstrate commitment to Nigeria’s unity rather than narrow regional interests.
“If I, Ali Modu Sheriff, say 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,” he stated.
Sheriff’s remarks come amid ongoing debates over party alignments and the strategies of key contenders ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
