Why I May Not Contest Presidency After 2027 – Peter Obi

Columns/Opinions/Letters, Politics
Why I May Not Contest Presidency After 2027 — Peter Obi The presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has said he is unlikely to seek the presidency again after the 2027 general election, pointing to Nigeria’s informal power-sharing arrangement as a major reason. The former Anambra State governor said the chances of him contesting the 2031 presidential election are “very slim” because of the country’s zoning principle, which informally rotates the presidency between the North and the South. Obi made the remarks during an interview with media personality Rufai Oseni, where he responded to questions about…
