The Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, Mr Peter Obi, has assured his supporters that he will contest the 2027 presidential election and that he will not do more than one term in office.

Obi gave the assurance in a statement issued by Peter Obi Media Reports Spokesperson, Ibrahim Umar, on Monday in Abuja.

The former presidential candidate acknowledged his involvement in coalition talks, attributing it to his desire to rescue Nigeria from the drift.

“I have not joined in any form of discussion on joint tickets, including with Atiku.

“If there is any form of agreement that will restrict me to four years in office, I will comply with the agreement and be ready to leave the office by 28th May, 2031.

“If the coalition is not about stopping the killings in Benue, Zamfara, how to revive our economy, how to make our industries productive, how to put food on the tables of Nigerians, count me out,” he said.

Obi pledged to bring stability to the country within two years in office.

On the situation within the Labour Party, Obi said they were re working round the clock to get INEC to endorse the Nenadi Usman-led leadership based on the Supreme Court judgment.

Obi also expressed his belief in rotation of power between the North and the South, saying that he implemented a similar arrangement in Anambra while he was governor.

On his preparation for the 2027 election, the former presidential candidate said that he would do things differently.

“We will follow a non-violent approach and insist that the right thing be done. Our votes in 2027 will count, and we will ensure they count,” he said.

He also said that he would prioritise security, education and poverty eradication as well as cutting costs, shunning corruption and channelling funds into critical sectors.

“My presidency will ensure there is a strong opposition in party politics. There will be no defection of elected officials to other parties when I am in charge

“I will bring order to governance and pull people out of poverty,” he said.
