Former presidential candidate, Peter Obi may have given an insight into his role in the 2027 general election, disclosing he is contesting the coming election as “number one”.
He spoke while addressing supporters ahead of the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) election in the Federal Capital Territory.
Obi vied for the 2023 presidency on the Labour Party (LP) platform, emerging third overall.
In December 2025, he defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), where his teeming supporters popularly known as ‘Obidients’ have urged him to only pursue the presidential ticket.
This is as some political observers have encouraged the former Anambra governor to be open to picking the vice-presidential ticket in the interest of party cohesion for electoral success.
Speaking at the campaign venue, Obi emphasised to his supporters the importance of backing the ADC candidate in the AMAC election.
He said their support at the grassroots would go a long way in bolstering his national political journey.
“You see this coming election, support us in AMAC; it will help me. Your support in AMAC is critical to our journey. I am involved and contesting the coming election as number one. When I come back, you will see. I assure you,” Obi said.
