A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Dan Ulasi, says former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, currently lacks a clear political platform ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Ulasi, who spoke on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Friday, argued that while the constitution guarantees Obi the right to contest, his political direction remains uncertain.
“In terms of the presidency for 2027, I believe Peter Obi so far has no platform,” he said. “To the best of my knowledge, he ran last time with Labour Party. He’s attended the luncheon of what do they call it ADC. So I don’t know what his platform will be.”
The PDP stalwart noted that Obi, who contested on the Labour Party ticket in 2023 and was recently spotted at an African Democratic Congress (ADC) event, has yet to define his base. He added that Obi’s options remain open but unclear.
“I’ll be happy if he joins PDP, because he will bring his credibility to bear on the party as we are reorganizing,” Ulasi said. “I mean, he’s not a name you want to introduce in Nigerian politics, any party that has him today, we know that they have already made more than 30, 40% of the election because he has tremendous support across this country.”
